A network of quiet paths
SCROLL
Out of the city.
Hiking in the Berlin Countryside.
Wide horizons over steep climbs
With
the many
hiking opportunities,
a mountain of questions grows:
How demanding is the journey by train?
How many other people are on this route?
Do cyclists constantly push past from behind?
How often is the idyll interrupted by roads or buildings?
This is a selection of especially inspiring nature trails.
For 30 years, I’ve been searching for the perfect route — preferably away from the usual paths.
I review, refine, and filter out anything that doesn’t feel right. What’s left is a small handful of day trips shaped by quiet and a sense of harmony.
You’ll find them here as the Wander Different Package:
-
20 Three-Star Trails for the warmer season,
-
8 special winter routes, and
-
5 shaded tours for particularly hot days.
Criteria for Three-Star Trails:
-
Ideal length – between 15 and 20 km.
-
Return journey by train in no more than one hour.
-
Outbound trip by train may be longer, but under two hours.
-
Quiet paths that leave space for your own thoughts.
-
Cycle paths are not good hiking trails.
-
The ideal trail is not a loop – its destination lies in the distance.
-
Landscapes should change and blend into a harmonious whole.
-
An intense sense of nature has high priority!
