Wannsee is a great place to go for the day if you want to swap the grey concrete of inner-city Berlin for leafy green woodlands and a magnificent lake. This adventure takes you through a variety of nature in the Wannsee area, making it more interesting than if you were to just stick to the lakeshore.

Description

Beginning and ending at Wannsee S Bahn station, head west along the Griebnitzsee, crossing over to Düppeler Forst just before you come to Glienicker Lake. Continue in a clockwise direction around the shoreline of Düppeler Forst, passing Glienicker Park on your right-hand side and großer Wannsee lake on your left. Cross over the Kleiner Wannsee, then go across Großes Fenn, before crossing over the river once again, passing a campsite on your right. Continue on through the dense forest, before entering a residential area, when you will quickly find yourself back at your starting point, the Wannsee S-Bahn station.
