Heinz Sielmann Stiftung near Berlin

Leaving Berlin from Spandau via Heerstrasse, driving on the B5, take the exit Heinz Sielmann Stiftung to reach the place. It is beautifully situated in the Döberitzer Heide where you can do nice walks.

A few years ago the Heinz Sielmann Stiftung bought 3.450 hectare to secure the area for the nature. Previously the area has been used for military purposes and wildlife has been displaced. Now a lot of flora and fauna is growing again and some rare plants could be sited. The same can be said for animals.

Wanderwege - Hiking treks - are marked, around 55 km, and have been cleared of munitions.


We only visited the area of the Heinz Sielmann Stiftung Schaugelände.  There is a cafe and small information centre. A nice play ground for kids and children zoo with goats and rabbits. If you go further you can meet some wisents, wild horses and red deer.

The wild horses are called Przewalski Horses and some more of them have been born this year.




You can see some animals made out of one piece of wood. Here is a bat. 





The Mongolic Yurts are beautiful and can even be rented for children parties. You can inquire with them.
