If you are in Berlin and interested in a piece of natural country, then this is a good opportunity. If so, you’re in luck! It is also important to note that there is a huge number of trails in Berlin, to suit a beginner and the professional hiker. In this blog post, you will get an idea of some of the greatest hiking trails in Berlin and the necessary steps towards touching the nature and being amazed at the beautiful sceneries.
1. Teufelsberg Hiking Trail
One of Berlin’s most favourite hikes is in Grunewald Forest and a small mountain called Teufelsberg. This trail will give a break from the crowded city and bring you an environment of serenity and nature. During the 3.5km of the walk you will experience the foliage of the forest, breathtaking vantage views as well as a Cold War spy listening post.
Tip:
Also, wear comfortable shoes because at times the ground is slightly rough.
Make sure you take a camera with you because the views of Berlin are breathtaking.
You may want to keep away from crowded bracelets during the weekends and visit during weekdays if at all.
2. Müggelsee Loop
If the traditional round hike through the Roland-Müggelsee Landscape protectionahuete is too short for you, you can take the Müggelsee Loop. This is a 14-kilometer circular trail running around the scenic Müggelsee Lake , so one can guess how beautiful the surroundings can be. On the entire hiking trail through the woods, fields and the lake side you will feel fully relaxed and in harmony with nature.
Tip:
Pack a lunch because there are numerous beautiful places where you can park yourself and grab eating.
One of the better renting option is a bike so that one can cycle along the trail to make the experience different.
If you want to swim in the lake, do not leave your swimming trunks behind.
3. Wannsee Pathway
The Wannsee Pathway is a easy and family appropriate trail that leads along the banks of Lake Wannsee. This walk is actually a 10-kilometer trail which provides stunning views of the lake as well as beautiful villas to look at and some history to take in. On your way it is possible to stop at the Bridge of Spies, where Soviet and American spies used to exchange prisoners during Cold War.
Tip:
Grab lunch and make sure to take benefit of so many places to enjoy lunch along the trail.
It is recommended to visit during spring but with cherry trees framing the walkway in pink blooms, pretty pictures are sure to be had.
Have a bath in Strandbad Wannsee, discover the Small Award winning sandy beach and bike around the lake.
4. Grunewald Forest and Havel River
The Grunewald forest in the western area of Berlin has a variety of trails to suit everyone’s preference and physical abilities. Perhaps the most picturesque of what has been named as Forest Road is the landscaped forest in combination with the views of the Havel River. There are also opportunities for great trips into the forest and there is a famous Devil’s Lake for quiet strolls.
Tip:
It is important to carry a map or better still a hiking application to help you navigate within the forest when it comes to trails.
But you can find places to rest; there are beer gardens right in the heart of the forest!
This trekking is wonderful; if you want, you may hire a boat and cruise along the Havel River later.
5. Barnim Nature Park
There is also the Barnim Nature Park if you want something slightly further away from the city. The extensive garden, outside the capital of Germany, provides many path alternatives to explore in woodland, heath and by tranquil water. One of the sights of this place is the Bötzsee, whose water is exceptionally clean.
Tip:
Look up the weather and attire appropriately as the park is somewhat of an open plain.
There are no dining options within Yosemite National Park, so be sure to bring ‘‘sellable’’ valid water and food for the day.
There is also an opportunity to book for a tour guide to enhance understanding of the park’s plants, animals and historical features.
The following hiking trails will help you to free yourself from the bustle of Berlin and become one with nature. These trails are great for novices and experts in hiking and adventure in equal measures. And thus putting on the hiking boots, taking a backpack, and go hiking through the uniqueness and beauty of nature in Berlin!
