Abandoned railway building in Biesenhorster Sand

Highlight • Structure

At the level of the locomotive shed you can - of course with the necessary care - cross the tracks. In the area of the Biesenhorster Sand there is only this one (not entirely legal) transition to Biesdorf.

January 11, 2023,Mittwochmorgenswandern im Biesenhorster Sand 🚂

HIDDEN PLACE IN BERLIN

City, hustle and bustle, people, traffic.

Loud, smelly, crowded.

It is well known that city dwellers are more prone to mental illness than people living in the countryside.

However, the majority of city dwellers are not aware of just how green their city is far away.

Example Berlin.

Today an exclusive one across the Biesenhorster Sand.
In the north dark clouds piled up at the beginning and for a long time it looked as if it would finally rain.
The path leads past the dozing sheep and flowering rosehip bushes to S-Wuhlheide.

May 14, 2025,Morgens in die Natur zum Biesenhorster Sand

With the spring sun through the nature reserve.

Seeing sheep and goats grazing. We'd love to see that today. But it'll probably take a while. Instead, we experience the mix of landscape and industrial wasteland. Also beautiful and remarkable – always exciting, no matter the season. One of the Sprechlaufwandern tours with particularly many surprising moments...

August 5, 2022,NSG Biesenhorster Sand – Runde von S Bahnhof Wuhlheide

This nature reserve in Berlin is a micro-adventure. The former railway system has been a nature reserve since 2021. On narrow paths, over old railway sleepers, gravel paths and sandy dry meadows, you will pass through a small area that nature has reclaimed. Sheep keep the meadows low. A little break from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
