Overview

  • The Senate Environment Administration has reopened bathing spots at Tegeler See, dog exercise areas in Frohnau and Hakenfelde, playgrounds at Rallenweg and Goldfischteich, wildlife enclosures at Schwarzen Weg and the Frohnauer Forst for visitors at their own risk.
  • Life-threatening hazards persist in closed zones, including the Schulzendorfer Straße playground and the Ehrenpfortensteig wildlife enclosures, due to unstable trees and falling branches.
  • Berliner Forsten crews are clearing debris from forest paths at a slow pace because dangerous tensions within uprooted trees and branches complicate the work.
  • Bus line 671 has resumed its route through the forest and vehicular traffic between Spandau and neighboring communities is back in service.
  • Authorities plan to keep most areas restricted until August 4 and advise the public to check the Berliner Forsten website for the latest closure and reopening information.
