The Fall of the Berlin Wall is a theme that you, too, can actively “experience“ - in the truest sense of the word! The Wall Trail leads around and through Berlin for a distance of 160 kilometres. As it follows the route of the former border, there are many stations that remind the visitor of the time when Germany was partitioned. Along the River Elbe you will also come across traces of the internal German border and experience the unique flora and fauna of the UNESCO biosphere reserve in the Elbe river landscape. The most famous East German product in the world – the Spreewald gherkin – is the focus of the Gherkin Cycleway (‘Gurkenradweg’) which offers a myriad of information and, of course, innumerable opportunities to sample the gherkin, over a circular route of more than 250 kilometres.
