Forest-Time-Travel

With the app on Forest-Time-Travel

The area at the foot of the Müggelberge hills In the south-east of Berlin is full of surprises: all the fascination of nature within a small space. Semi-natural woodland, the mysterious Lake Teufelssee, Berlin’s only walkable moor and the city’s highest natural summit – this place is packed with highlights. And there’s no shortage of stories here either: lost sites, vanished ice giants, demolished towers and sunken castles are all waiting to be explored. So step into nature and enjoy!

There are lots of colour-themed Discovery Stations around Lake Teufelssee.

Each one focuses on a different topic, often viewed from different perspectives. So keep an eye out for the colours: they indicate which of the four main themes is being highlighted.

Yellow stands for history, green for forest and nature, orange for environment and climate, and blue is all about water.
