Kreuzberg

As a mountain (in German "Berg") is a rare thing in Berlin, the Kreuzberg automatically qualifies as a tourist attraction. But don't take the word "mountain" too seriously, that's just Berlin humor. The hill is all but a 67 meters high. 

In summer there's a nice artificial waterfall that makes it nearly impossible to climb up the hill along the stones. But there are other ways to get to the top where you have a good view over Berlin.

On New Years Eve the hill is a central meeting point and you can feel a touch of World War II with all the folks starting off their individual fireworks.


How to get there:
The hill is at the intersection of Kreuzbergstraße and Großbeerenstraße. It's a ten minute walk from U6/U7 station Mehringdamm.
