Landschaftspark Johannisthal/Adlershof, Protected landscape area in Treptow-Köpenick, Germany.
Landschaftspark Johannisthal/Adlershof is a protected landscape area in Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick district featuring open meadows and forested sections across its grounds. An elevated walkway bordered by stone-filled wire cages guides visitors around a core nature reserve zone that receives special protection.
The site once served as Berlin's first powered aircraft airfield and operated until the 1940s as an active landing strip. After the war, it was left to its own devices and nature gradually reclaimed the land over the following decades.
The space serves visitors who come to exercise, relax, or watch wildlife in the midst of urban surroundings. Its location near Berlin's tech district means many people use it as an escape from nearby workplaces and offices.
The site is easily reached via public transportation and features a network of marked paths that guide visitors safely through the grounds. The elevated walkways help protect sensitive areas while offering views across the landscape.
Cattle and sheep graze across the grounds to naturally manage vegetation instead of using mechanical equipment. This traditional grazing practice creates specific conditions for rare dry grassland vegetation that cannot thrive without such intensive browsing.
