Circular
We started at the Lindenufer. Before crossing the bridge to Spandau Citadel, you can take a look at Spandau's city wall with a Wiekhaus. Wiekhäuser used to be used for observation and defence. Spandau Citadel was built at the confluence of the Havel and Spree rivers and was the centre of Spandau Fortress for a long time. There is a lot to see here. Bastions, the Julius Tower and a vault door weighing over 3 tonnes behind which the war treasure of 1870/71 was secured. From there, continue through the city with three nature reserves - Wrömännerpark, Költzepark and Spekteberg.
