Berlin is one of Europe's greenest capitals, ringed and threaded with forest. From the vast Grunewald to the Tegel and Koepenick woods, forest here offers escape within the city limits. This overview gathers Berlin locations for a walk among the trees.
The Grunewald in the west and the Koepenick forests in the southeast cover huge areas of pine and oak, laced with trails and dotted with lakes for walking, cycling and swimming. Wild boar roam the woods, historic lodges dot the trees, and beer gardens mark the way. The forests feel far from the city yet sit within its bounds.
