Dörferblick, Summit at Rudow district, Germany
Dörferblick is an artificially raised hill in Berlin's Rudow district that rises about 86 meters above the surrounding flatland. From its cleared summit, you can see the villages of Schönefeld, Waßmannsdorf, and Großziethen as well as the flat landscape around it.
The elevation was created in 1958 from debris after World War II, when Berlin was divided and Brandenburg landfills became inaccessible from the Western side. The site was then used as a waste disposal location before eventually being transformed into green space.
The name refers to the location's role as a vantage point toward several surrounding villages in Brandenburg. Visitors can understand the layout of these settlements from here and orient themselves within the landscape.
The site is easily reached on foot from several train stations, and the path to the summit is well-marked and easy to walk. The climb takes only a few minutes and is suitable for families with small children.
The northern edge follows the route of a former freight railway line that once connected Bohnsdorf to Lichtenrade through Berlin territory. This old rail line is still visible on maps and tells of the area's industrial past.
