View of the Havel and the Grunewald Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Havelhöhenweg you have a wonderfully wide view over the water of the Havel and you can already see the Grunewald Tower above the treetops in the distance - beautiful at any time of the year.

Is great for a little picnic trip during the bike round. Highly recommended for romantics at sunset! Dreamlike color games on the water surface. ;)

March 5, 2022,B Havelhöhenweg

I really enjoyed the hike on the Havelhöhenweg. I'm sure I'll feel the ups and downs tomorrow.

September 6, 2022,Wanderung Havelhöhenweg/ Grüner Hauptweg 12: von S Wannsee bis Stoesschenbrücke

The Havelhöhenweg is a very beautiful hiking trail that meanders over and along the moraines on the banks of the Havel. It is a bit more demanding than many other paths, but varied. This path converges in places, in places parallel to the Green Main Path 12. The Green Main Path 12 is significantly longer than the Havelhöhenweg and is …

May 29, 2024,Von Berlin zum Schwielowsee - Etappe 3! Vom Grunewald zum Wannsee

It's only a stone's throw from the Pichelsberg S-Bahn station into the countryside. Within a few minutes I reach the Grunewald.🌳🌳🌳. From there it goes straight to the water.

I walk along the banks of the Havel for a while. The many small access points to the water invite you to linger and dream. I enjoy the peace and the …

August 18, 2024,316. Tour 18.08.2024 Notwanderung entlang der Havel von Pichelsberg nach Nikolaseesee

We hiked this tour because the planned tour to Altdöbern was not feasible due to a train not running and therefore the journey took about an hour longer.

June 3, 2023,Auf dem Havelhöhenweg

Something short to get back in 😁 A nice tour, by Berlin standards with a lot of inclines and a varied path. The dangling to the Grunewald Tower wasn't actually part of it, it was only due to my hunger - there is a large beer garden there. The journey is excellent by S-Bahn or RE to Wannsee station, departure …

April 23, 2022,Wanderung nach Wannsee - Havelhöhenweg

After a long time, the hiking tour started again and what is better than the Havelhöhenwanderweg 🥰 Started at Stoessensee, always following your nose towards the south. At the beginning of the tour you don't necessarily have to walk along the water, right next to the road. There are also very beautiful hills here that are worth discovering!!! Depending on …

August 9, 2023,Vom S-Wannsee zum S-Pichelsberg

Did a hike in the Grunewald again today. Start was at S-Bhf.Wannsee. Terminus of the S-Bhf. Pichelsberg. Along the Havel, it was almost exclusively the Havel Höhenweg with sections of the GHW 12 (Havelseenweg). It was easy to walk on the damp forest paths. With a pleasant temperature, it stayed dry except for a few drops, which you could hardly …

August 2, 2025,Havelhöhenweg 🌦️

Oh, what a wonderful day it was today, despite the changeable weather with rain, sun, and clouds.

Together with my favorite cousin, we walked along the Havelhöhenweg, which we both loved. We went up and down stairs, up and down small hills, and occasionally straight ahead, but most of the way through the forest 🌳
We started near Heerstraße, where …
