Romantic View Let your gaze wander into the distance to the shelter and enjoy the peace and nature around you. This is exactly what landscape architect Erwin Barth envisioned more than 100 years ago. And because everything has been so wonderfully designed, the entire Jungfernheide Public Park is a garden monument, which is particularly cherished and cared for by the Parks Department. May we introduce: Nymphaea alba Its beauty has always inspired famous painters. The white water lily (Nymphaea alba) is native to Central Europe and can also be found in the Jungfernheide Pond. From May to September, it produces fragrant white flowers that can grow up to 12 cm in size. The yellow stamens release abundant pollen, which attracts flies, reed beetles, and bumblebees. According to legend, water lilies are guarded by mermaids who drag anyone who tries to pick them into the depths. While this is (probably) not true, the lesson of the story is still very relevant: Water lilies are protected and may not be picked!

Architectural Highlight The 38-meter-high water tower is the architectural highlight of the complex. Its original purpose was to supply the 146-hectare garden with water. This expressionist work of art was built from iron clinker brick according to the designs of architect Walter Helmcke and features sculptural decorations and a copper roof. The tower was damaged in World War II and restored in the 1980s. Numerous sightlines allow views of the tower from various locations in the park – you can see it from almost anywhere! The Kestrel Today, the water tower houses a summer garden and, in the upper third, some very special guests: For several years, kestrels have been nesting there regularly. A webcam provides insights into their nursery. It films from above through a hole without disturbing the birds. The transmission begins every spring, just in time for the breeding season.

The small café downstairs is nice for a drink. Do push-ups on the grass. The food is your usual, hard-to-enjoy fast food stuff.
