Things to do in Berlin
Here are a couple of things to do in Berlin. The order has nothing to do with anything, they are simply places that have caught my attention and that I would recommend in this city.
- Teufelsbergs
– Perfect for visiting the ruins of a cold war espionage centre. Initially it was to be a university college for military technology during the Hitler era. Then it was destroyed in the Second World War and the debris from Berlin was brought to the vicinity. Later, more and more trucks dumped the war debris on the same spot until it formed a mountain. The Americans thus created a centre on high ground to spy on the Russians. All this ended with the fall of the Wall and the end of the Cold War. Shortly afterwards, the site was used for air traffic control, but to little avail.
Today you can see a lot of graffiti on the premises mixed with traces of history. In the immediate vicinity you will also find many green areas that are very popular with Berliners along with lakes and good places for different kinds of outdoor activities.
