Grunauer Cross

At the Grünauer Kreuz in the southeast of Berlin, since 1952, the Berlin outer ring crosses the railway line Berlin–Görlitz. A series of connecting curves allows direct journeys in all directions. In the area between the tracks, which is inaccessible to the public, a rich plant and animal life has developed. Since 2004, the area has been designated as a nature reserve.
The Grünauer Kreuz is located in the southeast of the city at the border of the districts Altglienicke and Grünau. The intersection of the tracks lies south of the Teltow Canal near Adlergestell at track kilometer 12.0 of the Görlitz railway and at kilometer 40.0 of the Berlin outer ring. The S-Bahn line to Schönefeld Airport and further to Berlin Brandenburg Airport begins at the Grünauer Kreuz.
