Birdwatching hide at Großer Treppelsee

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice shelter to linger and observe nature on and at the Treppelsee. Unfortunately, vandalism has fallen a little bit over the years, but still worth a visit.

There is a great bathing area with a smaller stretch of beach on the "Großer Treppelsee". On warmer days you can cool down here. There is also a small seating area with a table that invites you to linger.

December 13, 2024, Birdwatching Hut at Großer Treppelsee

The aging bird watching hut was demolished in late summer 2024 by trainees from the state forestry service and rebuilt under the guidance of their instructor. Many thanks!! Also to everyone who worked to make this possible. You can observe numerous water birds from here, especially in the afternoon. Tip: Don't forget your binoculars!

On the way to Heaven and Hell you can walk along the Treppelsee and, if the weather is good and you feel like it, jump in for a quick refreshment. The sandbanks are actually quite clean, I can recommend it. In summer they are of course quite "populated" because outdoor pools in Berlin are crap. :-D
