From the island Freundschaftsinsel with the show and educational gardens of Karl Foerster, the tour leads along the banks of the river Havel through the English-style park of Babelsberg, designed by Prince Pückler, to Klein Glienicke. Crossing the Glienicke Bridge, known as the “Bridge of Spies,” you reach the well-thought-out New Garden. Here you can see some architectural gems : the Marble Palace, the Orangery, the Dutch Establishments, the Gothic Library, and of course, the historic Cecilienhof Country House. Not far away, the garden of the Russian Colony Alexandrovka, designed in the Hippodrome style, awaits you. Frederick William III and the Russian Tsar Alexander I were close friends. To express this friendship and to honour the late Tsar, Frederick William III had the ensemble designed by Peter Joseph Lenné in 1826.

A very different kind of garden is located in the Potsdam district of Bornim : the Karl Foerster Show Garden. This is where the perennial breeder and garden philosopher Karl Foerster lived and worked. In 1912, he began to create a display and trial area for perennials in his house garden. Since 1981, it has been listed as the “Karl Foerster Memorial”. The route then runs past the New Palace through the extensive Sanssouci Park, also designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, back to the city centre. The park is a complete work of art, combining 250 years of the highest garden art with the works of the most talented architects and sculptors of their time.
