Teufelsbruch Wetland Trail

Highlight • Trail

Impressive swamp. As the narrow path through the area was flooded, I felt like I was standing in the middle of the swamp, with quaking and flapping around me. I was very impressed

The Wildtiergehege in Spandauer Forst can be visited all year round. There are red deer and wild boar, very often also offspring. The boars always enjoy a few raw carrots or boiled potatoes and even eat from the hand.
