The view over the Havel is more towards Karlsberg including the Grunewald Tower (as various photos show here).

The Schäferberg, which is mentioned in the highlight heading, is located completely in the opposite direction in the Düppeler Forst.

Beyond the Horizon

July 14, 2025

Those who don't rush the winding paths of the Grunewald, but follow them with the necessary slowness, will eventually be rewarded: with one of those rare moments in which the Havel not only reveals itself, but also tells its story.

The water moves between the tree trunks into the picture, heavy and calm at the same time, as if it had barely changed for centuries. In the foreground: the bare branches of a winter day or the dense green of midsummer – depending on when you stand here. But beyond lies the expanse: a river that doesn't want to be one, a lake that can't decide whether it's still Berlin or already Brandenburg.

Over there, on the other bank, the Karlsberg hill crouches, the Grunewald Tower towers into the sky. It stands there like a silent exclamation mark of history, watchful but not intrusive, as if it knew: Whoever looks over here has already seen enough. Sometimes sailboats move through the picture like painted brushstrokes, sometimes the lake simply lies there as if waiting for something – for light, for wind, for someone to look.
