Kratzbruch

Can you hear the gentle lapping of the water? That's the Spree River winding its way here, as you stand on Kratzbruch Island. Take a look around and soak in the tranquility right in the heart of the city. Did you know this island is a hidden paradise for many bird species? If you listen closely, you might catch the chirping of sparrows or the calls of wild ducks. Look to your left, over there, not too far away, is Liebesinsel, another little natural gem. And if you fancy some culture after your nature fix, Insel der Jugend is a short trip downstream. Here on Kratzbruch, it's easy to leave the hustle behind and let nature take over.
