Speepark is one of this places, that I always wanted to visit – an abandoned amusement park, sounds exciting, doesn’t it? It would be better to have a “private tour” without a guide and a group of people, but still, it was something. With my “so close to understanding” german, we separated a bit from a group and wandered around, discovering it partly by ourselves.
I went there twice. The first time by accident, when I’ve decided to bike around Treptower park. I knew that it was open but I had no idea how it worked. I found the gate and went inside. It turned out that there are two tours per day (only on weekends) at 1 pm and 4pm. It was 2pm and I’ve decided to wait. I was walking around the entrance area and took like 200 pictures. At 2pm I gave up, it was not a day for waiting.
The second time was with T., it was a beautiful day. I am still impressed with a history of this place that contains bankruptcy, Peru, big amount of drugs in a flying carpet and a long sentence in jail. If you’re interested, watch the Achterbahn (Der Spreepark) Dokument.
