Abandoned railway building in Biesenhorster Sand

Highlight • Structure

At the level of the locomotive shed you can - of course with the necessary care - cross the tracks. In the area of the Biesenhorster Sand there is only this one (not entirely legal) transition to Biesdorf.

It was a very interesting tour today: When the former Wuhlheide marshalling yard was closed in 1994, a railway wasteland was created on which endangered plant and animal species are located - the Biesenhorster Sand. Grazing with sheep ensures that the open areas do not overgrow. Interesting to see how nature reclaims its territory.

HIDDEN PLACE IN BERLIN

City, hustle and bustle, people, traffic.

Loud, smelly, crowded.

It is well known that city dwellers are more prone to mental illness than people living in the countryside.

However, the majority of city dwellers are not aware of just how green their city is far away.

Example Berlin.

Hardly anyone knows it. The Biesenhorster Sand nature reserve. As the name suggests, a glacial sandur area. Today a biotope for many protected animal and plant species.

Why Biesenhorst?
The Biesenhorster Sand lies on the border between Marzahn - Biesdorf district - and Lichtenberg - Karlshorst district.

With the spring sun through the nature reserve.

Seeing sheep and goats grazing. We'd love to see that today. But it'll probably take a while. Instead, we experience the mix of landscape and industrial wasteland. Also beautiful and remarkable – always exciting, no matter the season. One of the Sprechlaufwandern tours with particularly many surprising moments...
