グリーニッケ/ノードバーンの絶景の山頂・トップ7

One of the highest points in the area with outstanding views. Be careful of broken glass when cycling.

Nice view from the flak bunker.

Great view from the Humboldthöhe - Flakturm.

Nestled in the depths of the Tegel Forest, hidden from the prying eyes of most hikers, lies the mystical Apolloberg. Its history dates back to 1708, when a tar kiln was built on its property. In later years, an inn followed, which not only accommodated the thirsty and hungry, but also welcomed travelers to its youth hostel. Its former name, Eichelberg, may sound less poetic, but it has by no means lost its meaning over time. Until recently, Mount Apollo was characterized by a different, more profound mysticism. Instead of man-made crosses, one found artfully arranged branches and roots, whose origin was as shrouded in mystery as their meaning. An unknown artist had managed to create impressive masterpieces from the simplest elements of the forest that captivated the viewer. The path to Apolloberg may be more difficult and less obvious than that to Ehrenpfortenberg, but that's exactly what makes it so attractive.

Deep in the heart of the Tegel Forest, surrounded by whispering trees and the gentle rustling of leaves, stands the Ehrenpfortenberg - at 69 meters, the highest natural elevation in Reinickendorf. A special place where the history of Berlin can be felt with every root and every stone. It was here where Elector Frederick III, later crowned King of Prussia, had gates of honor built to mark his most important places. Even though the gate itself has long since fallen victim to time, the wooden summit cross, which was only erected in the 1990s, is a reminder of this era. Many years ago you could see all the way to Berlin Palace from this silent witness. Today you may still be able to see a path, but for the most part only trees surround the summit. An ideal terrain for forest lovers and those who want to experience the forest in its purest form. For adrenaline lovers, the hilly landscape also offers ideal conditions for cyclocross. But be careful! The dense network of paths can be confusing. If you get lost here, Komoot is recommended as a reliable navigation system. Joggers and dogs liven up the paths, especially on weekends, and the summit has a bench where you can relax. Here, in the partial shade, an imposing old beech tree sits enthroned, which, although it has already seen its best days, proudly and majestically overlooks the Ehrenpfortenberg. A place where you can breathe deeply, feel the history and enjoy the so-called "forest bathing" to the fullest. It is not only one of the rare places with a summit cross in Berlin, but also a real insider tip for everyone who appreciates the peace and magic of the forest.

There is also a good parking space for cars at the Baggersee.

In addition to the Arkenberger See (in which you can swim), there is also a beautiful, more natural lake, which is also located directly below the Arkenberg

Not just one of the rare summit crosses in Berlin. There is a bench to rest and a view of a great old beech tree, which unfortunately has already seen better days. Hopefully she holds out for a long time.
