Berlin is big on street art and street culture - whether it's the amazing food or beer which you can pick up anywhere, or the awesome street-side bars and venues that lead you to settle into a long night of partying.
While the city is littered with street-art around the East Side Gallery and other spots, I wanted to continue to follow my mantra of traveling differently and querying all the spots that aren't normally traversed by the mountains of tourists that are in Europe in this pandemic revenge traveling season.
Teufelsberg therefore stood out as exactly the type of destination that would suit me to experience Berlin street-art culture. What's not to love; it has a built in hike as well as supposedly having panoramic views of Berlin. That's a pretty big claim given how big and modern Berlin is as a city - I don't see how you can capture it in essence in a photo the same way as say Prague or Venice. Nevertheless, I set out to find out.
The first part of the journey is the train ride out to the outskirts of the city, followed by a brief hike through a forested area depicted below and leading up to a raised area where some other travelers were also looking out over the view and sighting the Teufelsberg from a distance.
