I took my first walk around this beautiful little lake in 1981 with meine Freundin and have come back to visit many times since. It was a bit less nicely developed back in the day, but just as charming. This past week I enjoyed both cafes and their beers and food. It is so nice to see this idyllic spot continue to improve. If you are looking for a spot to escape the city and enjoy a little nature with water, then my favorite little lake will suit you just fine.

Treptower Park is admittedly not a place I frequent so often, especially considering how close I…read morelive to it. However, it is a place that I am fond of and enjoy every time I am there. In particular, its location on the water is a major positive. There is almost always a cool breeze and plenty of things to see, such as people on boat cruises. The wide expanse of green lawns means that there are plenty of people picnicking, studying, or playing frisbee, but it never tends to be overcrowded - another plus point in my book. The park is also home to a beer garden (Das Zenner), a former amusement park (Spreepark), the Soviet War Memorial, rose gardens and fountains, and it leads over to the Insel der Jugend, another interesting place to check out. All in all, a great place to relax and take it easy without worrying about the crowds.

Tiergarten is a very-very large park. And, when I say it it very large, I do mean it is truly very…read morelarge. It is one of the biggest city parks I have ever experienced. Located right in the heart of Berlin, Tiergarten is almost impossible to miss, as all roads lead to it or through it. Once inside this park, you'll you'll find a very large amount of all kinds of trees, plants, grass, and shrubbery. The park is truly a testament to a vast natural space in the center of a city. You will see people riding their bikes, running, walking, and just kicking back on the grass throughout the park. As urban as most of Berlin tends to be, this park is truly a space for a person to workout in nature or just commune with all that is natural. The one thing I will say, that I find very curious about this park, is that there are very few restrooms. You really have to walk a distance to one if you need to use the facilities. From this, I have seen a number of people, particularly men, just using the side of a tree to relieve themselves. I imagine, as vast as this park is, where there are numerous private places, this is not that uncommon of an occurrence. This is not a criticism, this is just something for your to keep in mind if you come to this park. Be aware, you should know where one of the few restrooms are located before you enter the park, just in case you realize you need to go. Overall, this a great park. A fun place to just walk and enjoy nature and some peace in Berlin.
