Karlsberg

Karlsberg is a wooded hill in the Grunewald forest that rises to approximately 79 meters and features a network of walking trails across its slopes. The terrain slopes down steeply on its southern side toward the Havel River below.

The hill was named after Prince Carl, the third son of King Friedrich Wilhelm III, during the 19th century. A tower was built at its summit in 1899 to mark the 100th anniversary of Emperor Wilhelm I's birth.

The Grunewaldturm, constructed at the summit in 1899, commemorates the centenary of Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor's birth.

The hill is reached via Havelchaussee road, where free parking spaces are available near the tower. The walking paths are easy to navigate and the area is accessible year-round for casual outings.

The Grunewaldturm stands at the summit, a brick tower with a viewing platform that serves as a landmark for the entire area. The tower offers visitors a panorama over the forest and the Havel valley landscape.
