The Grunewald is Berlin's great green escape, a vast forest of pine and oak stretching along the western edge of the city. Laced with trails and dotted with lakes, the Grunewald offers hiking, swimming and cycling within easy reach of the centre. This overview gathers Berlin locations around the forest.
Paths wind past the Grunewaldsee and the Teufelsberg, a hill built from wartime rubble and topped by an old listening station, while the Havel shore adds beaches and boat trips. Wild boar roam the woods, historic hunting lodges dot the trees, and cafes and beer gardens mark the way. It feels far from the city yet sits on its doorstep.
