Great City Challenge
A varied adventure awaits explorers in the middle of the metropolis. The route offers an exciting mix of urban architecture and dense forest paths. There is a lot to observe, especially in the Tiergarten: Squirrels or wild rabbits often scurry across the path between old oak and beech trees. In the quieter evening hours, you may even spot the famous Berlin red foxes. In addition to the wildlife, the route impresses with views of the golden Victory Column, which towers far above the treetops. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as there is a lot to explore on the paved paths. The tour is an impressive demonstration of how green and lively Berlin can be.
