Wandlitz Forest Settlement
|
Between 1958 and 1961 the government of the GDR built a very private secure housing complex. This was where Ulbricht, Honnecker and Co. were able to relax in the knowledge that they were safe from prying eyes. Today, it is the site of a rehabilitation clinic. A three-minute journey by electric car through the grounds gives one an impression how the politburo officials lived. It is recommended that you make a reservation in advance.
It can be reached by car from Buch via the B109 to Wandlitz, turning right at the roundabout in the direction of the A11 autobahn.

The boat lift was built during the period 1927 to 1934 and it is still a technological wonder. In only five minutes the 4,300 ton tub carrying the boat overcomes a height difference of 36 meters. Including the maneuvers involving getting the vessel in and out, a single boat requires about 20 minutes to pass through. A trip through the boat lift is always a special attraction.  Getting here
