Pfaueninsel - Looking for birds and beavers 🦫

Birding Walk to Pfaueninsel

Join us for a relaxed birding walk along the beautiful Havel leading to the historic Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island). Starting at 13:00 in front of Wannsee S-Bahn station, we will walk along the river through a diverse mosaic of riparian woodland and park landscapes, looking and listening for birds along the way.

The route offers excellent chances to observe a variety of native woodland and wetland species, including several woodpeckers, songbirds, waterfowl, and other river-associated birds. With a bit of luck we may also encounter beavers or at least discover their unmistakable feeding traces along the banks of the Havel.

Our walk continues to Pfaueninsel, famous for its free-roaming peacocks, but also home to old trees and quiet habitats that attract many other birds.

The excursion is planned to last approximately until sunset, allowing us to enjoy the changing light and evening activity of wildlife.

Important:
The ferry to Pfaueninsel is not included in the tour fee. The crossing costs an additional €5 per person.
