    Tips

    April 18, 2018

    If you want to find the highest natural mountain in Berlin, you've come to the right place. At 114.7 meters, it is the third highest elevation after the former Arkenberge landfill (121.9 m) and the Teufelsberg rubble mountain (120.1 m) in Grunewald.

    In contrast to the other two, the Great Müggelberg was formed naturally. Until about 1960 it was the highest point in Berlin.
    Up until the 1990s, the path up the mountain was not signposted and was therefore only accessible to insiders. There are now signposts that guide hikers without Komoot, and there has been a summit cross for several years. In the meantime, it was cut and stolen by vandals with chainsaws. Two years later a new cross was erected, secured by steel rails.

    Otherwise, the summit is nothing, from the bench you have no view of the area, tall trees prevent that.
    However, if you consider that the entire north side of the Müggelberge was cleared by overexploitation, then we can be happy that there are such tall trees again. Around 1880 it must have been very empty there. The Spindler brothers, owners of the Spindlersfeld chemical cleaning and laundry factory, made sure that Berlin's highest mountains did not become completely bare by stopping overexploitation and initiating reforestation. We owe it to the brothers, among other things, that a beautiful recreation center was created here.

      At a good 115m, the Großer Müggelberg is the highest natural elevation in the Berlin city area. Marked by a summit cross. However, there is no vantage point here. This is a little further southwest (or you can climb the lookout tower on the slightly lower neighbor of the Müggelberg...)

        Although the view from up here is somewhat limited, the natural hiking trails around the "mountain" are still worthwhile.
