Two birds after which the island has its name
Resting from all the tourist-visits

One tower of the Castle

The island of 67 hectares is part of the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin, UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular destination for day-trippers, Pfaueninsel is also a nature reserve in accordance with the EU Habitats Directive and a Special Protection Area for wild birds.

The castle with a view to the Havel
 A wedding-party on the island |
Peacefully they stroll around the lawn, looking for food

 The peacocks - It's a very strange behaviour when they're closing their eyes |
Unfortunately no bird was showing his whole beauty with the widespread tale
But nevertheless their colors are stunning

The Castle mirroring in a little well |
Kookooo - nobody can see me!
"I am so pretty and proud on that!"

Some details
The Castle from the seaside
Their beak somehow looks dangerous
But none of them were attacking me. They are used to visitors and photographers already for centuries.
Nobody seems to be here.
The bridge between the two towers
The view over the Havel
The bridge and the built-in ruins
A nice wall-painting in the back of the Castle
Blooming in all shining colors
The sculptor was Bernhard Afinger, most famous in the 19th century.
Beautiful flowers

I would love to live in that pittoresque little house
The ferry will take us to the mainland again.
Queen Luise's name can be found everywhere.
