Where Berliners have been getting their bodies in shape since the 70s: The Trimm-Dich-Pfad (Fitness Trail) in Grunewald, Dahlem, is an outdoor fitness classic and forest walk rolled into one. Free, in the middle of the forest, and back in shape after modernization.

Strength, Stamina, and Pine Scent in Grunewald

If you want to combine fitness with fresh air without paying a membership fee, this is the right place. The path was created in the 70s and modernized in 2006. At over 20 exercise stations, you can extensively train strength, stamina, and movement skills over two to three kilometers. It’s a circular course with a sturdy piece of exercise equipment approximately every 200 meters. This makes the training varied and clears your head.

Along the route, there are about 15 to 20 exercise stations, such as bars for pull-ups or tree stumps for vaulting. At each station, an overview board shows which exercises should be performed there. This way, even beginners immediately know what to do. The exercise instructions were carved into more than 25 robinia wood logs by Brazilian wood artist Luis González Touissant, giving the course a unique aesthetic.

Trimm-Dich-Pfad in Grunewald: Free Outdoor Training, 24/7

The fitness trail in Grunewald remains a popular meeting point for recreational athletes. The use of the equipment is free. Furthermore, the course is accessible daily and around the clock. The Trimm-Dich-Pfad begins on Hüttenweg, located behind the parking lot of Forsthaus Paulsborn. If you arrive by public transport: The nearest subway station is U Dahlem-Dorf.

The newly designed course is primarily intended to prevent diseases caused by lack of exercise, encourage time spent in nature, and promote a health-conscious lifestyle. In short: If you can do without high-gloss equipment for outdoor training in Berlin and prefer forest ground under your feet, you’ll make an excellent choice.
