Hiking

In the middle of the forest, a wooden summit cross marks Reinickendorf's highest natural elevation, the Ehrenpfortenberg. At 69 meters high, it's not exactly a giant among Berlin's mountains, but its name nevertheless has a special history. The forest landscape surrounding the mountain was a favorite hunting ground of Elector Frederick III. To mark his coronation as King of Prussia, he had Ehrenpfortenberg built at various places of personal importance to him – this mountain was one of those places. The gate has long since disappeared, and the summit cross was added much later, in the 1990s.

Many years ago there was a line of sight from here to the Berlin Palace. A small swath in the right direction you can still make out in my opinion, otherwise you only see trees

Highest mountain in Reinickendorf, but you all know that...
Very nice place for "forest bathing" - quietly located in the semi-shade, a bench is available with a view of the imposing, old beech!
