Steps to the Müggelturm

Highlight • Structure

Up on ...! Who can get the stairs to the fastest? Alternatively, there is the Willy Trail - named after the innkeeper who prevented the tower from being blown up by cutting through the explosive lines. *G*

Müggel Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Müggelturm you have a wide view over almost the whole of Berlin - provided you have a good view, of course. The Teufelssee is directly below the tower, the Großer Müggelsee shines behind it, and in the other direction you can see the Langen See with the Grünau regatta course.

View of Müggelsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Müggelbaude stood on this spot until the 1980s. Built in 1911 as a small wooden hut with a view of the Bismarckwarte, the pub was to develop into a popular meeting place. Just a few meters away began the famous Death Railway, a toboggan run almost a kilometer long, the end of which was at the Teufelssee. Part of the track is now used and expanded by extreme cyclists (the facility no longer exists).
At the end of the Second World War, the Bismarckwarte was blown up by the Volkssturm, the landlord was banned from the forest and found his hut plundered and neglected. In 1947, the pub changed hands and was reopened. It was always well attended until the 1980s. In 1988, however, the hut was closed and completely demolished. Only this viewing point remains of it.

Bridge Over the Former Toboggan Run (Teufelssee, Berlin)

Highlight • Bridge

This small wooden bridge had been in need of renovation for a long time. Now it has been torn down and is being rebuilt. Perhaps it will be accessible again in spring 2021.

Großer Müggelberg – Highest Natural Point in Berlin

Highlight • Summit

At 114.7 meters, the Müggelberg is the highest natural elevation in Berlin. The "summit" is conveniently located directly on a nice short trail that is flowing at first, then slightly uphill and then again steeply downhill at the end. The whole area is full of small trails that are worth discovering.

Kanonenberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Kanonenberge viewpoint you have a beautiful view of the Müggelberge and the Müggelturm. There is enough space for a picnic up here, and campfires are sometimes made here. I've even experienced a magician's and witches' meeting here. During the day it all seemed pretty harmless...

The Kanonenberge is an old disused gravel pit that was actually still used in the German Empire to test cannons and weapons. Bullet casings and other remains could be found there until the 1970s. The valley basin was a large meadow until the late 1980s and is now overgrown.
