The Spandau South Harbour is located on a peninsula in the Havel and was built between 1906 and 1911. It is, after all, Berlin's second-largest harbour after Westhafen and an important location for freight handling.

The Havelhöhenweg leads on natural paths through the varied forest landscape along the Havel. Again and again, beautiful views open up onto the water, small bays, and the wooded shores. Roots, elevation changes, and narrow paths make the tour surprisingly varied – and quickly make you forget, in the middle of Berlin, how close the city actually is. A wonderful route for all who love forest, water, and quiet nature trails.
