Berliner Balkon

Here geographic history can be traced 1: 1: you can see exactly where the glacial valley runs and where the Barnim hangs. A height difference of around 10 to 15 meters, which is otherwise leveled in the urban area (even if still there). A must for Berliners!

I can only join Stephan!

We enjoyed it at sunset. Simply magic!

Ps. One should not be influenced too much by ALBA. Close your nose and open your eyes! Then that will be good!

From here you have a beautiful panoramic view.

You can see something of the Berlin skyline. Also, kestrels are common, and in spring and autumn there are numerous migratory birds sleeping on the nearby lakes, e.g. Greylag geese, swans and ducks.

It is constantly noisy (due to the nearby B1 / B5), but the view of Berlin justifies the visit. In spring and autumn many gray geese and swans graze there, which use the nearby lakes as resting place. For the last few years, a pair of kestrels has also been nesting nearby, and can often be seen in the sky.

A piece of Barnim in Berlin. For a few minutes you forget that you are in a metropolis of millions and enjoy peace and space.

They almost always sit there. Incredible. At first I thought it was rabbit. To top it off, another crane is 5 m away.

Unfortunately there seem to be some dirty finches. The wooden steles were smeared and the remains of Burgerking were everywhere. During the return tour, the BSR was on site to create order. However, I suspect that it won't stay clean for long.

It's a shame that you have completely removed the seating (wooden steles) on the way, so that you can now only linger in the roundabout (just before Alba) to enjoy the view. Visited again on 03/28/21. I was pleased to see that instead of the wooden steles, there are new benches (1x one bench / 1x two benches), so that you can linger for a while and enjoy the view of the Elsensee.

There is a wonderful view from there.
In good weather.
