Once an airport, now a vast open space where people can skate, picnic, or simply relax. It’s a place where the city meets nature in a very Berlin way.

Is berlin a good place to explore by foot?
Absolutely. Walking through Berlin is like stepping into a series of different universes. You can wander through edgy urban areas and then suddenly find yourself in a peaceful park. There are always hidden gems to discover, whether it’s a small café, a street artist, or a historical site you’ve never noticed before. Walking lets you experience the real energy of the city up close and personal.

Why is urban hiking important to you?
Because it combines movement and exploration in a way that nourishes my mental health. Walking helps me feel grounded, reduces anxious thoughts, and keeps me active. It’s incredible how much a city can soothe and surprise you when you slow down and take it in step by step.

Do you like all kinds of hiking?
I love hiking, but I'm not a fan of mountains! Flat terrain is my comfort zone, whether it's walking through Berlin or wandering through a forest. I enjoy nature, but steep hills or mountains aren't for me. A long, flat walk where I can soak in my surroundings is more my style.
