The Bornstedter Friedhof is located directly opposite the Bornstedt Crown Estate in the immediate vicinity of the Potsdam Orangery.

Historical Mill of Sanssouci

Highlight • Monument

In the historic mill of Sanssouci (historische-muehle-potsdam.de/), which was rebuilt in the 1990s as a reconstruction of the built from 1787 to 1791 Dutch mill, there is a mill museum. In addition, the mill offers a beautiful view over the park. In summer, as is generally the case in Sanssouci, there is a lot of activity, so the eyes are always open when cycling: it's tight around the curve that leads to the mill - and it's always possible to count pedestrians on the road Park half to another. A public toilet is located a short distance below the mill in the direction of the Orangerie next to the souvenir shop.

Built on behalf of Friedrich Wilhelm IV between 1851 and 1864, the 300-meter-long building is still used today to protect precious plants from frost. You can visit the lords' and servants' apartments here, as well as the Raphael Hall with over 50 copies of Raphael's paintings from the 19th century.

You also have a beautiful view of the park from here. It is particularly beautiful and quiet in the morning when you go jogging and climb the stairs for fitness training.

In summer, the plants, including various palm trees, are placed in the park. If you catch the right day, you can even watch it. I managed to do this on a jog in 2015.

Botanical Garden of the University of Potsdam

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Botanical Garden of the University of Potsdam is located in the impressive scenery of the UNESCO World Heritage Park Sanssouci. The site on Maulbeerallee was once used by the court gardeners of Sanssouci for the cultivation of local and southern fruits and vegetables for the royal table, as well as the cultivation of flowers to decorate the palace grounds. In 1950, the area was further developed into a botanical garden of the then College of Education.
In the Garden of Paradise is still a 1937 created pond with various marsh and water plants. Unlike stibadium, cascade and water basins, which have already been extensively restored.

On Monday I was still on the couch and thought, Tuesday evening I won't be able to take a step. With the bike there with a good headwind. We took a lot of group pictures and then we started at 6:00 p.m. I didn't feel fit until the start. About 500 meters further on, I noticed that it was working. …

I actually thought I would hobble down the thing and it would take about 50 minutes, but I was actually able to walk a bit. But now I'm going to rest for a few days or go for a bike ride.

Same game again this year. I've cycled there 10 km in the rain. Because it also started to rain there and after the run it didn't stop at all and then 10 km back again. That was a decent workout for next week. I somehow got there a few seconds early. Around 27 minutes for 5 km. I ran a …
