When the leaves start to fall, when squirrels start to gather their winter supplies, when the sun no longer rises quite as high above the horizon — it can only mean one thing: Fall is here. Now, it's time to get the fleece jackets out of the closet and to wax the hiking boots. When the city gets quieter this November, you should definitely go out into the nature to do the last longer this year. With a cosy jacket, warm woolen socks and a thermos with hot coffee, your autumn outing can start right away.

So you can make the most of this season, we have put together ten fantastic autumn hikes around Berlin. At Schlachtensee, you'll enjoy the colorful leaves of oak and beech trees, at the Karow ponds you can observe the migratory birds that can only be seen at this time of year — and over the Mariendorfer Feldmark you'll witness the stunning mist that cuddles the landscape like a giant blanket.

All our hikes can be easily reached with the Berlin S-Bahn or the regional train. And with a mouth nose cover and a little distance to the other passengers, you can get out into the countryside safely on weekends.

Now, all you have to do is make up your mind: Whether you head out for a short walk or a real day-hike, it's all up to you. Just browse through our hikes and let yourself get inspired.
