Berlin - Teufelsberg
Teufelsberg in Grunewald
The views over Grunewald and to Havel are uniquely beautiful. The TV tower and the Berliner Dom can be seen to the east in good weather. To the west you can see sailboats on the water. Teufelsberg is built on a mountain of rubble from the time of the war. During the Nazi era, there was a military faculty on the site. It was blown up after the war and 25 million cubic meters of rubble from Berlin were poured on top. Teufelsberg, is named after the nearby "Devil's Lake". Teufelsberg subsequently became the highest point in Berlin at 114.7 meters after the Müggelberge. The Americans started using the "mountain" as a listening post in the 50's. One can still see the remains of the installation with the five large radar domes today.

Wanted
Berlin is always worth a visit - summer or winter - but where to go? Here are some slightly unusual and very different suggestions for places I like to go.
