Jogging

September 12th, 2006

For those hoping to work off the hearty German fare they’ve been enjoying on their visit to Berlin, the city is a wonderful place to go jogging. Offering plenty of parks to choose from, the city is a runner’s paradise. The Tegeler Forst in Tegel and the park of Schloss Charlottenburg are particularly scenic routes. The lovely Schlachtensee offers a 5km jogging route, while the Tiergaten and, of course, the streets of the city centre are also popular jogging routes.

One charming way to enjoy the sights and sounds of Berlin is to take a cruise through the city’s waterways. Spanning Berlin’s canals, rivers and lakes a cruise is a perfect way to gain an understanding of the city’s layout and to enjoy Berlin’s many historical sites. A number of company’s operate tours, ranging from brief trips around historic sites, to leisurely trips across the city. All of the tours are reasonably priced, and they welcome children and senior citizens.
