Parks & Nature

it starts from Südkreuz und goes until Priesterweg along the train track; a few years ago it was a secret place, now it is preferred by joggers, bicyclers. There is also a virgin forest between the two train tracks, you can visit it for 1€ entrance. In the reservation you can find some old buildings e.g.: a water tower with a small café and other sights related to the railway. You can reach the park by foot from our house.

Walking down the Akazienstr. gives you an impression about some local little shops. The whole area in Schöneberg has rather smaller shops where you can find uncommon but beautifull things.

Arts & Culture

we are film lovers, we can warmly recommend you the York group (www.york.de) which offers good films, not only American ones but also many European ones (German, French, Italian, Spanish). In the Rollberg branch they have only films in original version or originals with subtitles. Really nice cinema! (Rollberg Kino, Rollbergstraße 70, 12053 Berlin)
