October 9, 2021,Runde Flughafensee – Jungfernheide - Tegeler See (U Otisstraße)

... today it only started in the early afternoon.
A cozy round in the north of Berlin. At the airport lake, of course, some people still enjoyed the warm autumn sun. Overall, however, the route was not very busy for a sunny Saturday afternoon.

It was fun ... why wander into the distance, see, the good is so close!

For our April hike, the hiking group meets at the Otisstraße stop. The hike leads past the Flughafensee, as a "fence spectator" along the Tegel Airport, through the Jungfernheide to the Tegeler See and back through the Jungfernheide and along the Tegel prison, before we stop for food at Dubrovnik Grill.
