Teufelsseemoor Köpenick

Teufelsseemoor is a protected wetland area in Treptow-Köpenick with reed beds and marsh vegetation surrounding a central lake. The terrain comprises peat layers and supports specialized plants and animals adapted to wet conditions.

The landscape formed during the Weichsel Ice Age when glacial movement created a kettle hole. Over millennia, peat layers accumulated on the lake bed and now reach considerable depths.

The name refers to the natural water body and moorland landscape in this Berlin district. Visitors can experience the typical wetland vegetation directly and understand why this place has held a lasting role in local awareness.

A wooden walkway lets visitors explore the protected area while keeping the sensitive environment undisturbed. The path runs through the wetland and offers good views of the vegetation and wildlife.

The wetland is home to rare amphibians including the northern crested newt and moor frog, which thrive only in such specialized habitats. These species are rarely found in other parts of Berlin, making this spot valuable for nature observers.
