Schönhausen Palace Park has two faces: that of a lively, tree-filled public park with a meandering stream and that of a secluded, quiet monastery garden. The reason for this is a wall that divides the park into different areas.

An extensive ditch system west of the Panke is still managed and regulated by the state of Berlin today. There are many hectares of allotment gardens around Blankenburg, through which rainwater drainage ditches run in old routes. The Blankenburg carp ponds, which are affected by the Panke, are located here. They are managed by the Berlin State Anglers Association. On the northern bank of these ponds, the Malchower Fließgraben brings water from a whole system of ditches from the Malchower See to the left of the Panke. This ditch system east of the Panke includes the Schmöckpfuhlgraben, which today brings water from the Heinersdorf freight station site and the allotment gardens northeast of Heinersdorf.

There is always a lot going on here at the weekend. During the week it's fine. Nice little highlight on the Panketal cycle path.

The Castle Park Niederschönhausen looks back on a long and varied history. Countess Dohna laid out her first garden in the Panke lowlands as early as 1662. At the beginning of the 18th century, the garden was expanded under Frederick I and later the wife of Frederick the Great, Queen Elisabeth Christine, and designed in the baroque style. A ground floor in front of the castle, labyrinths and boskette (hedge quarters) were created. The castle itself was expanded by Johann Friedrich Eosander, and ancillary buildings were built. In the years 1829-31 it was redesigned and expanded to create a landscape park based on designs by Peter Josef Lenné. The park part of the palace is now surrounded by a wall that was built when the palace became the seat of the first president of the GDR, Wilhelm Pieck, in 1949, and later the guest house of the government of the GDR. The majority of the castle park is freely accessible. Old trees, curved paths that follow the course of the Panke, and extensive meadows characterize this part of the park.

The park borders on the Niederschönhausen Castle. The river Panke crosses the recreation area popular with Pankowern. There are playgrounds and the Berlin-Usedom cycle path follows the course of the Panke.

Rolls very well. Only the northern section is cobblestone - well. It is also a busy cycle path, a shame, but it has hardly any alternatives. The landscape with the ponds and the birds that live there is very attractive. Some benches invite you to linger.
