Walking through Berlin is like stepping into a series of different universes''

Berlin in full colour

  • 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.
