Havelhöhenweg
The Havelhöhenweg is a hiking trail in Berlin that leads from Heerstraße / Stößenseebrücke in the north along the eastern bank of the Havel to the Wannsee lido in the south. Its length is around 10 kilometers and leads past numerous excursion destinations. The path runs largely above the Havel riverside path on the western edge of the Teltow plateau . The maximum gradient to the Havelniederung (above Stößensee ) is around 35 meters. To cross former meltwater channels , the path leads down to the riverside path at various points.
history
The idea for the path originated around 100 years ago and goes back to the landscape architect Peter Joseph Lenné . The facility was built in the 1950s as part of an emergency program, but was not subsequently maintained. The Grunewald Forestry Office took over the renovation, which was partly financed by the European Union's Environmental Relief Program (UEP). In 2004, the trail was redesigned in its southern section for 870,000 euros. A 3.6 kilometer long section was made barrier-free . The Senate Department for Urban Development largely dispensed with extensive information boards along the way, but instead offers the possibility of a “virtual forest walk” on its website . All 30 knowledge points that can be seen on the route are explained.
The Havelhöhenweg is part of the 20 green main paths in Berlin as No. 12 .
