The Karolinenhöhe sewage fields are a vast nature reserve. They originated from former sewage fields, and the structure of the settling ponds can still be clearly seen today. They were only taken out of regular use in 1998 and today, with their meadows, wetlands, and numerous small paths, they form a varied local recreation area.

A very interesting area. Many paths lead through basins where Berlin's wastewater used to be cleaned. Definitely worth a visit.
