Description
Village Outdoor – Berlin’s highest natural elevation and largest lake
with Daniel Salamon and Thomas Fischer
With just 115 m the Große Müggelberg is Berlin’s highest natural elevation and the lookout on Kleiner Müggelberg has been a popular destination for Berliner’s for more than 100 years. Situated on the shores of Berlin’s largest lake, the Großer Müggelsee, lies Friedrichhagen with a lovely lakeside promenade and vibrant cafes. A relaxed hike through the forrest and next to the water connects these two spots.
We will meet at the terminus of the number 62 tramline in Köpenick and start out along the shore of the Lange See, were olympic rowing competitions were held in the past. Steps will lead us up for 80 m to the lookout on Kleiner Müggelberg from where we will walk over tot he higher Großer Müggelberg and then down through the forrest to Großer Müggelsee. Walking along the water we will finally cross the Spree through a pedestrian tunnel to reach Friedrichshagen.
Daniel Salamon has enjoyed Nature and the outdoors since a very early age, has had a yoga practice since the late 1990s, and a growing interest in therapeutic and sensual touch. He has been involved in various ways with the Village, and the Radical Faeries (globally) since 2013. He lives in Berlin, has a garden in furthest Brandenburg, and can be found adventuring in other places mostly in Winter.
For Thomas Fischer outdoor activities and movement through nature are important to connect with his self and the world around him. Therefore, he supports outdoor activities at Village and brings 20 years of experience in exploring Berlin and Brandenburg to the programme.
As a health professional he is passionate about the interplay between mind, body and social connections. He believes that movement, curiosity and constant development are at the core of every human’s journey through life.
