Berlin Episode 16 A Day at the Lakes

Ideas for a day trip from Berlin to Lake Wannsee, where Berliners love to swim and enjoy the lakeside beach and surrounding forest.  Plus what to visit nearby - an exotic island, a couple of royal castles, an artist's hideaway, a villa steeped in WW2 history and the real  Bridge of Spies.  Maybe you need longer than a day to visit, but you can get all the info here in under half an hour!
