The Grunewald Run 21km offers a classic long-distance experience through the green lungs of West Berlin. This half marathon route winds its way through the expansive Grunewald forest, past tranquil spots such as the Grunewaldsee lake and offers views of the historic Teufelsberg listening station. The terrain consists largely of soft forest floors and wide gravel paths, which are ideal for a steady pace. Historically, this forest served as the original venue for the first Berlin Marathon in 1974, before the event moved to the city center. On your route, you will pass the Gleis 17 memorial at Grunewald station, a place that commemorates the dark history of the region. This run is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and test their stamina on a scenic forest run.
