In the middle of Berlin you are standing on one of the few natural elevations in the capital, the 66 meter high Kreuzberg. It belongs to the Teltow plateau and forms the southern border of the Berlin glacial valley, which was created by the last ice age. The Viktoria waterfall flows down from it over some rocky cascades and forms a great photo motif that at first glance you would not necessarily associate with Berlin.

At its summit is a national monument dedicated to King Friedrich Wilhelm III. to commemorate the soldiers of the Prussian army who died in the wars of liberation from 1813 to 1815.

The hill, which is high by Berlin standards, measures a total of 66.1 meters - so the former vineyard is more than half as high as the highest natural point in the capital (Großer Müggelberg 114.7m). The Kreuzberg is home to the cast-iron national monument at its 'summit' commemorating the wars of liberation, such as the Battle of Waterloo.

The Kreuzberg lies in the middle of the idyllic Viktoriapark, which has been artificially created since 1888. This is particularly attractive thanks to its 24 meter high waterfall, which is based on the Zackelfall in the Giant Mountains. Furthermore, the park awaits with winding paths, a large playground, many green areas for lazing around and various catering options (X-Berg-Hütte & Golghata).

The easiest way to reach this highlight is with bus line 140, bus stop Katzbachstrasse/Kreuzbergstrasse (or Monumentenstrasse), which offers an ideal entry point at the foot of the Viktoriapark.

Via the side of the waterfall, the most beautiful side, we reach the Viktoriapark.
Unfortunately, the waterfall is over and we go up the mountain.
The street names in the area are reminiscent of the wars of liberation against Napoleonic France.
In memory of this time, the Kreuzberg was also designed with the national monument.
For us, both the park and the monument are one of the most beautiful places in Berlin.
We also have a wonderful view over part of the city from here.
All important battles were immortalized here.
Despite this, war is never to be viewed positively.
Unfortunately, everything here has been smeared over the years.
