What to expect

Beelitz Heilstätten: Lost Places even without a guided tour and treetop walk
This family's experience:

Activities: We spontaneously went on a search for clues at the ruins of Beelitz-Heilstätten. We went for a walk around the area, including the old men's clinic, seeing the main building behind a construction fence and the old open pavilions. We also saw the old power plant

Highlights: We enjoyed the pittoresque decay and the glimpse of the past. The open pavilions were perfect for a rest. We explored the area and saw the old power plant. "It is still verfallen, rusty and exciting." ✨
