Deep in the heart of the Tegel Forest, surrounded by whispering trees and the gentle rustling of leaves, stands the Ehrenpfortenberg - at 69 meters, the highest natural elevation in Reinickendorf. A special place where the history of Berlin can be felt with every root and every stone. It was here where Elector Frederick III, later crowned King of Prussia, had gates of honor built to mark his most important places. Even though the gate itself has long since fallen victim to time, the wooden summit cross, which was only erected in the 1990s, is a reminder of this era. Many years ago you could see all the way to Berlin Palace from this silent witness. Today you may still be able to see a path, but for the most part only trees surround the summit. An ideal terrain for forest lovers and those who want to experience the forest in its purest form. For adrenaline lovers, the hilly landscape also offers ideal conditions for cyclocross. But be careful! The dense network of paths can be confusing. If you get lost here, Komoot is recommended as a reliable navigation system. Joggers and dogs liven up the paths, especially on weekends, and the summit has a bench where you can relax. Here, in the partial shade, an imposing old beech tree sits enthroned, which, although it has already seen its best days, proudly and majestically overlooks the Ehrenpfortenberg. A place where you can breathe deeply, feel the history and enjoy the so-called "forest bathing" to the fullest. It is not only one of the rare places with a summit cross in Berlin, but also a real insider tip for everyone who appreciates the peace and magic of the forest.

In addition to the Arkenberger See (in which you can swim), there is also a beautiful, more natural lake, which is also located directly below the Arkenberg

You can swim in Lake Arkenberger as it even has a small beach and the lake is located directly below the Arkenberg (Berlin's highest mountain).

Not just one of the rare summit crosses in Berlin. There is a bench to rest and a view of a great old beech tree, which unfortunately has already seen better days. Hopefully she holds out for a long time.

Highest mountain in Reinickendorf, but you all know that... Very nice place for "forest bathing" - quietly located in the semi-shade, a bench is available with a view of the imposing, old beech!
