Teufelsberg

Rising 115 meters (377 feet) over Grunewald forest, Teufelsberg offers wonderful panoramic views over Berlin and the surrounding region. Created from the debris which lay all over the city after the World War II, the hill is topped by a futuristic white building which currently abandoned, but used to be the US army radar base during the Cold War. The hill has now become a popular destination for adults and children out flying their kites or model aircraft. As it is extremely steep in places, Teufelsberg is also fantastic for sledging down in the winter. Although there’s no general access to the hill, you can get to the top of the hill by going on a guided tour.
