The island lies like a large fish in the Havel. The head looks towards Potsdam, the tail fins point towards Wannsee.
If you take the ferry to the island, you will not only hear the sound of the waves and the treetops. From afar, you can also hear the animals that have long given the island its name: the peacocks. We will encounter them everywhere on our short tour of the island. We will also listen to the splashing of the water at the large bowl fountain, stroll through the round garden and see the last remains of the palm house that once stood here on the island. You will learn about the Prussian kings who spent beautiful summer days here and about the animals that first lived here on the island and then became the first inhabitants of the Berlin Zoological Garden.
