Look to your right and you'll see the charming bridge that brought you here. Did you know this island was once called Abbey Island? There's something magical about listening to the birds and watching the gentle waves lap against the shore. Behind you, the dense Plänterwald Forest rises, making you feel like you're deep in nature. And to your left, across the river, lies the Stralau Peninsula. Don’t miss out on the cultural events often held here—they’re the cherry on top of this idyllic getaway.
