Highlight • Viewpoint

The view of the Grunewaldsee is really nice. Why this highlight, however, advertises the view of the hunting lodge, I can not understand, because it is just to guess.

The large historic forester's house directly on the Grunewaldsee now houses a restaurant and a hotel. The restaurant with its stylishly furnished rooms takes you on a journey back in time to the late 19th century.

October 23, 2021,[Berlin] Grunewaldsee - Gassirunde ohne Hund

Today we went a little round through Berlin's largest dog playground.
Since I am unfortunately not a dog owner myself, I sometimes felt very out of place. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful round through the autumnal Grunewald. There isn't much to say about the round, as my main concern was to test my newly acquired lens, which I did extensively. …

There are officially 4.8 million dogs living in Germany. Of these, around 132,000 are registered in Berlin. I assume that there are actually at least 250,000. Because not every resident of Berlin registers their dog for dog tax.
The Grunewaldsee is Berlin's largest dog walking area.
And there are only happy dogs here.
Susann and I go for a walk …

After the round we wanted to go to the castle, unfortunately in the winter months you can only go in as part of a guided tour and we would have had to wait 1.5 hours for that.

There are dog beaches here and therefore lots of dogs, a paradise for dog lovers. The castle with a café and the Paulsborn forester's house are located on the lake.

A quick walk through the dog run to let the furry friends have a bath. And hey presto, they were destroyed in the 30 degree heat 🤣

Today I circled the Grunewaldsee as part of the Iron Lake Challenge Berlin. Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to take many photos today because there was a "mass migration" here and the banks were pretty overgrown.

The first Berliner Weisse of the year, sunshine at 18°C and finishing work in a deck chair.

Where do all these dogs come from?! I can count at least two dogs for every owner. And there are a lot of owners frolicking around Grunewaldsee on this Friday afternoon.
