Beschreibung
The New Garden (in German: Neuer Garten) is one of the old parks in Potsdam in the style of an English landscape garden. Built in the 18th century, 'new' refers to newer than Sanssouci Park. The park is known for being the centre of the Potsdam Conference in 1945.
It still has many scattered old oak trees and lush undergrowth making it an ideal place to see Mittelspecht (five territories), Nachtigall (up to 20 territories) and Gelbspötter (around seven territories).
In autumn you can spot migrant warblers in the bushes and trees, especially in the northern parts. Sommergoldhähnchen is seen regularly in spring, summer and rarely even in winter. In late winter it is one of the best places for Seidenschwanz (annually). Scan the trees that have mistletoes! Many thrushes also feed on the mistletoes as well as on yew berries in early spring.
The adjacent lake Heiliger See is mainly interesting in winter when thousands of diving ducks rest on the lake. The majority are Reiherente and Tafelente, and also hybrids between the two are common. Mandarinente hide under trees that hang low over the water surface. Rarer ducks are Bergente and dabbling ducks. Rarities have been Samtente, Moorente and Eisente. The best vantage point for waterfowl is the terrace of Marmor Palace (see map). A scope can be useful sometimes.
The park can be quite crowded, especially in summer and on weekends. It is less crowded in cold and harsh weather and in the very early hours of the day.
