A breakfast in the Hofcafé at Mother Fourage in Zehlendorf is a little vacation from your day-to-day.

Peacock Island in the Havel near Wannsee is only accessible by ferry, a connection that has existed since 1821. On 67 hectares of UNESCO World Heritage, there are around 400 old oak trees, the white pleasure palace from 1794, and Berlin's oldest rose garden, with peacocks roaming freely in between. As an autumn excursion in Berlin, this means: golden foliage, water all around, and hardly any traffic noise.




A day trip combined with a picnic is a visit to Pfaueninsel ("Peacock Island") in Berlin. Here you can enjoy your picnic surrounded by the name-giving peacocks but also other animals, water buffaloes for example.
