Baumkronenpfad Beelitz Tree & Time, Beelitz

If you are someone like me who is in love with abandoned buildings, this is the place for you. It is located around 1 hour south of Berlin in Beelitz. I spent one of my favorite day trips ever there. The place consists of a few sections, it is huge. This place was abandoned after WWII, it was an isolation camp for the working population of the imperial capital Berlin to recover from Tuberculosis. There's a unique tree top path to walk around the premises of the different buildings. However if you want to check the inside of the buildings, you need to book a separate ticket for each that cost extra and doing a guided tour is the only way to check these buildings out Guided tours available: - Alpenhaus - 1hr - Three Buildings Tour (Women pavilion, Cook house, surgical ward) - 1.5hr, recommended! - Old surgery building - 1hr I recommend to get the entrance ticket and book at least one of the guided tours to get to see the inside of the building. Doing all of them is time and money consuming so I recommend doing the three buildings tour to see the most of everything. I am giving four stars because the tours are only in German and the prices are quite expensive in my own opinion and the food options are very limited. Otherwise I am actually looking forward to go again with more friends and family

Arrive early if you don’t like stepping on people every 2 meters. The park is big so prepare your better shoes and some money to spend at the restaurant. Bringing your kids? Perfect idea as there is a Playground. Do you have a wheelchair? There is a big elevator so don’t worry about those never ending stairs. Afraid of heights? The elevated road is 16-20mts high and moves A LOT. All information is in German and English. Inform yourself a bit before going, so you know what to avoid and where to spend most of your time. There is a tour around the sanatorium but better to do it without kids.
