Havel Heights Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Very nice hiking trail between Berlin and Potsdam along the banks of the Havel, mostly a little offset from the lake shore on a hill. This gives you a very nice view of the Havel. The senate administration has set up benches in very attractive places.

The Höhenweg ends at the Strandbad Wannsee, but there are also some quiet and small bathing spots in between, such as at Lieper Bay. But it shouldn't get too hot anyway, because you usually walk in the shady forest.

The Havelhöhenweg is part of the 20 main green routes in Berlin and was planned 100 years ago. A virtual tour can be found here: stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/forsten/waldspaziergang

If you want to stop right in the middle, you can do so at the beer garden in Grunewald.

View of the Havel and the Grunewald Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Havelhöhenweg you have a wonderfully wide view over the water of the Havel and you can already see the Grunewald Tower above the treetops in the distance - beautiful at any time of the year.

View of the Havel from the Havel Heights Trail

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice picnic area with the best view over the lake. Further north you reach the Schildhorn peninsula, where the interesting Jaczo monument is located. It was built as early as 1845, destroyed in the war and rebuilt with fragments based on old photos. It is worth looking at the history and legend of the column, as it goes back to the 12th century. back.

Havel Heights Trail in Grunewald

Highlight • Trail

Top flow trail for grass. The sandy windings sometimes lead along the edge of the forest and allow for a lot of speed. It alternates between going uphill and downhill, and the areas that are partly covered in roots further add to the fun factor. Please pay attention to oncoming traffic and hikers, you do that anyway.

View of the Havel in Grunewald

Highlight • Viewpoint

A dream to cool off at temperatures that are almost unbearable in the city. If you like, you can experience a wonderful sunset atmosphere here. The bank no longer exists.
