Britzer Parkbahn, Rideable miniature railway in Britzer Garten, Neukölln, Germany
Britzer Parkbahn is a narrow-gauge railway running on a 6-kilometer track through Britzer Garten with five stations and covered passenger cars. The trains move slowly through the garden, allowing visitors to observe different landscape sections including flower beds, water features, and planted areas.
The railway opened in 1985 as part of the Federal Garden Exhibition and became a permanent feature of the park. It was created to help visitors explore the large garden grounds more easily.
The railway functions as a social gathering point where families and visitors move through the park together at a leisurely pace. It serves as a practical connector between the various garden sections while enabling people to experience the landscape without walking.
The complete journey takes about one hour and you can board at any of the five stations throughout the garden. Wear comfortable shoes for walking between stations, and plan your visit to make the most of the covered seating during sunny weather.
The train travels at only 6 kilometers per hour, giving passengers time to notice planting details and pathways that would be missed while walking. This slow speed makes the journey particularly comfortable for children and older visitors while revealing unexpected views of how the garden is designed.
