Discover Potsdam's hidden gem: The Nuthe Park calls!

The Nuthe Park in Potsdam is a small, green idyll that is only a few minutes' walk from the main train station. Here the Nuthe river flows into the Havel, a connection that is historically significant. The Nuthe, which rises in the Fläming and cover a distance of 66 kilometers, brings a noticeable current and thus creates an attractive recreation area that invites visitors to relax. At the mouth of the Nuthe there is a small place with a bench from where you can enjoy a nice view of the friendship island.

A walk along the Havel leads past the fishing club and the sports boat club. The Humboldt Bridge crosses Die Havel and offers an impressive perspective on the Hans Otto Theater and the Park Babelsberg. The theater, a new building by the architect Paul Böhm, is part of a cultural center and attracts numerous people interested in culture. There are also historical riding halls nearby that accommodate the T-plant, a center for dance and theater pedagogy.

wikipedia describes the quarter as an attractive residential area and a popular destination for tourists.

The Dutch flair is omnipresent in the unplastered houses with white joints and curved gables.

Potsdam.de reports that a renovation statute was decided by the city council on September 12, 1990 and that private and public actors worked to bring the quarter back to life.

Today, the Dutch quarter offers a variety of exclusive shops, cozy cafes and inviting restaurants. A well-known highlight is the "Maison du Chocolat", which is famous for its drinking chocolate made of melted Belgian Callebaut chocolate. This variety of gastronomic and business offers contributes to the special flair of the quarter.
