Villa Jacobs is one of the more hidden and special places in Potsdam. Located close to the Jungfernsee, it is surrounded by a historic park designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, which is today part of the UNESCO World Heritage area. On this weekend, the park of Villa Jacobs opens its gates for the [Weinfest im Park der Villa Jacobs](https://www.potsdam.de/de/veranstaltung/weinfest-im-park-der-villa-jacobs-open-air). There will be wine from the Villa Jacobs vineyard, Mosel wines, small snacks, and the possibility to enjoy the park, the orchard, the linden grove and the view towards the Jungfernsee. So, let's use this opportunity and hike there from Wannsee! We'll meet in front of Bahnhof Wannsee at 10:45. From there, we will start walking along the Teltowkanal and continue towards Griebnitzsee. We will then walk through the area around Glienicke and cross the famous Glienicker Brücke, the historic bridge connecting Berlin and Potsdam. From there, we continue towards Villa Jacobs, where we should arrive around 15:00. After the hike, you will have the optional possibility to visit the Weinfest in the park of Villa Jacobs. The entrance is free. Important things to note: * Be prepared. Expect muddy grounds, a lot of sun, mosquitoes, businesses accepting cash only. * You are all responsible for yourself.
