When I ask people about Berlin’s green spaces, most of them mention Tempelhofer Feld or Treptower Park. However, tucked away in the Schöneberg lies a hidden gem that offers an entirely different kind of outdoor experience: Natur-Park Südgelände. And I believe more people should know about this unique blend of history and wilderness.

Just a short train ride from the booming city of Berlin lies a vast, quiet landscape with a storied past—the Döberitz Heide. What was once one of Germany’s most prestigious military training grounds is now a massive nature park. But if you look closely, leftovers of its dramatic history still peek through the forest foliage. For urban explorers, history buffs, and nature lovers alike, the Döberitz Heide bunkers and their surroundings offer a fascinating glimpse into an almost forgotten era.

36 Hours in Neukölln: Berlin Coolest Neighborhood - After lunch, I’d take a walk around the area with a beer in my hand and explore the beauty of the Landwehrkanal that splits Neukölln from Kreuzberg. It’s easy to sit by the water and have some brews while you see the trees, the boats and the people walking by. It’s one of my favorite pastimes during the summer months, and I feel like you should try it as well.

Located in the hill south of Budapest, Memento Park seems to be the place that communist statues go to die. There, Lenin stands next to Karl Marx and Engels, together with crucial Hungarian communist leaders. All of this behind brick walls that make up a surreal and unique open-air museum that feels more authentic than most sights in the city.

On the way between my hotel and King’s Cross, there was a park. A park with a familiar name but one of those names that doesn’t ring a bell but that you still think you know what it is. The park I’m mentioning here is called Joseph Grimaldi Park, and it’s named after the person that many consider being the world’s most famous clown, the great Joseph Grimaldi.
