Train to Lubben,Sprewald.Sorbs Festival

KittsHill 7 reviews

My Wife and I rode the Train South to Lubben.The Canal Ride by Pole Boat was about
3 Hours.9 Euros each.Returned by Motor Power.Lap Blakets were Provided.We went through
4 Locks.It is the Custom to leave a Coin or two on the wall for the Lock Master operating the
water level change mechanism.

The Back Yards of the Summer Residents was worth the Trip alone.And moments of solitude encouraged the Photos of the area with White Clouds as background.

Potsdam Alleyway

This is towards the entrance of the Sanssouci park and displays the quaintness that has remained in this great Brandenburg town. Be sure to check out the small cafe's that line these alleyways. There is reminents of old Italian architectural style.

Neue Orangerie-Sanssouci Park, Potsdam

This is also located within the Sanssouci Park area. Built by Persius and Stüler between 1851 and 1864 in a style inspired by mediterranean architecture. A columned entrance hall, a belvedere crowning the palace, and two towers linked with a gallery of columns clearly show that this building was supposed to copy the villa style of Italian Renaissance. It too has extensive and beautiful gardens to visit. There is an admission charge to visit the interior but the top walkway is free and gives great views of the gardens and of Potsdam

Neue Palais detail-Potsdam

The palace is crowned with numerous gods and demigods looking down from the balustrade, who were supposed to symbolise Prussia's lustre and glory.
The King used the palace as living quarters for himself and his guests; the royal family used it as a summer residence right into the 20th century.

Schloss Sanssouci Gardens

Landscaped gardens of Schloss Sanssouci-Potsdam

Some of the most beautifully landscaped and most expansive gardens in the area. Well worth the visit to see each one. There is a lot to see so take the time to walk around as much as you would like. A bike may also be nice to have if you are just visiting the parks and not entering any buildings.
