(re)Wandering in Berlin: Humboldt-Siemens
Humboldt-Siemens Trail, Tegel-Siemensstadt, Berlin, Germany
Distance: 10.2 km – Total climb: 50 m – Total descent: 57 m – Duration: 2:56 hrs
You look at the map and say: “let’s connect the father of ecology with that of the electric elevator”. Today, only a pleasant lakefront, six giant murals, the remains of a magnificent forest, and the runways of the city’s main airport separate these two great Berliners. Overall, it is an epic walk that will be impossible to forget.
