Berlin and Brandenburg’s largest heathlands are not of natural origin. Originally developed as military training areas, forested areas were pushed back and extensive heathlands were created on the sandy soils. These days, almost all the region’s heaths are protected landscapes and open for hikers to explore. They’re particularly dazzling in late summer, when the heather turns lilac and violet, creating a gorgeous sea of colour.
In this Collection, we’ve selected routes in the Berlin area’s most beautiful heathlands. Each has its own special charm. Near Luckenwalde, you’ll find the last inland migrating dune in Europe; wild horses and wisents (European bison) adorn the Döberitzer Heide; the small Mittelheide lies hidden in the idyllic Erpetal; and the Schönower Heide boasts red and fallow deer. The lowland meadows on the Tegeler Fließ and the Hobrechtsfelde are not true heathlands, but the open landscapes are a delight, with expansive views and a peaceful atmosphere.
You can reach these wonderful areas easily by Berlin S-Bahn or by regional train. Ideal for both avoiding the city’s traffic and for enjoying the scenery flashing past the window.
