Apartments in Berlin

The palace, the fountain, the Jacob wells and lots of other sights are situated romantically embedded in a nature reserve. Theodor Fontane described today's UNESCO world cultural heritage in the following words: 

"Pfaueninsel! Like a fairy-tale a picture from my childhood appears to me: A palace, palms and kangaroos; screeching parrots; peacocks sitting on high perches or doing a cartwheel; aviaries, fountains, overshadowed meadows, winding paths that lead to everywhere and nowhere; a baffling island, an oasis, a carpet of flowers in the middle of the Mark."

If you prefer wallowing pigs rather than the strutting peacock, you should visit the village demesne Dahlem.The agricultural-historical outdoor museum is the only farm in Germany that has a metro station right on its doorstep.
