We may return to the station of Grunewald past the forester's
house of Suubucht (rfmts.).
To the S. of the Grunewald Station we may proceed via Hunde¬
kehle (p. 184) to the (2y2 M.) S. end of the Grunewald Lake, on
which lie (1 M.) the Shooting Lodge of Grunewald, built in 1542
by Kaspar Theyss (p. 65) for Elector Joachim II., and the *Pauls-
born Restaurant. To Steglitz, see below. — Farther on to the S.W.
we pass Onkel Tom's Hiitte, a restaurant on the Ricmeister-See, then
the Krunime Lanke (another lake), and the picturesque Schlachten-
See (boats for hire; Alte and Neue Fischerhiitte Restaurants), above
the left bank of which we see the villa-colony of the same name
(p. 186). The Grunewald comes to an end at Beelitzhof (restaurant),
situated on the Wannsee, l/2 M. to the N.W. of the station of
Nikolassee (p. 186) and 1 M. to the N. of the station of Wannsee.

Wannsee is served by the suburban trains to Potsdam via Grunewald
(p. 184) on the Stadtbahn and by the trains of the Wannsee Railway
(station, PL G, 19; pp. 13, 186), which run to Zehlendorf (see p. 186) every
10 min. (during part of the day) and to Wannsee every 20 minutes.

end of Duhlem, then a walk of 25 min. In the district to the S.W.
of the Fichtenberg, near the former estate of Dahlem, the new
Botanic Garden, laid out by Prof. Engler, was opened in 1903
(adm., see p. 36). It is inferior in size (1100 acres) to Kew Gardens
near London, but surpasses them and all other institutions of a
similar kind in its arrangement of plant-types from all parts of the
world on the appropriate rock-formations. Entrances in the Pots¬
dam road (S.) and the Dahlemer Chaussee (N.). In the latter also
are the Pharmaceutic Institute of the University, the new build¬
