Fairytale Forest: Hike through the mystical landscape of Briesetal

Fairytale Forest: Hike through the mystical landscape of Briesetal

Sat, Mar 7, 8:30 AM
From Urbanature Travel - Berlin
4.6

***Discover the mystical sunken birch forest, the valley and its unspoilt nature while hiking along river Briese.*** **HOW DO I JOIN THIS EVENT?** Click on link below to get complete info and to sign up for this event by getting your ticket. [https://Briesetal-14Feb2026.eventbrite.de](https://Briesetal-14Feb2026.eventbrite.de) **WHY GO?** The Briesetal is one of Brandenburgs most scenic valleys, formed by river Briese. The quiet nature preservation area is home to mischievous beavers whose dams created a sunken birch forest. The valley is still dominated by unspoilt nature, seemingly untouched by humans. It's only a 40 minute train ride north of Berlin, making it the perfect day trip getaway from the city's hustling. Following the meandering river we traverse the mystical forest, walk on wooden planks through moors and marshes and explore natural habitats and endemic wildlife. On this hike, immerse yourself into nature’s wonder! Have you ever observed the tiny details of the outdoors? Such as the intricate veins on the back of a leaf? Or the delicate edges of flowers’ petals? Or the movement of a cheeky squirrel? On this walk, you will have the chance to truly connect with the natural world around you. No experience or preparation is needed, just your curiosity. You will be guided through every step of the way. ### **TRIP DETAILS** **Distance:** *13 km walking, 7 hours from start to closing, multiple break times* **Hiking Difficulty:** *Easy – walking on marked paths / dirt roads, mostly flat terrain, relaxed pace* **Kid Friendly:** Yes **Pet Friendly:** Yes **What is included?** * Community leader & guide for the entire duration. * Guided hike * Access to google photos album dedicated for this trip for sharing all your amazing pics & videos from the trip. * Access to a WhatsApp group for confirmed participants. **Note:** Please contact us immediately if you do not have WhatsApp & we can make alternate arrangements from our end to ensure you do not miss out on any communication.

Village Outdoor – Berlin Wall Trail Section 13

**Berliner Mauerweg Abschnitt 13** **– vom S-Bahnhof Lichtenrade bis zur Gropiusstadt –** mit ***Harms*** und ***Thomas*** **Treffpunkt**: 11 Uhr, S-Bahnhof Lichtenrade (S2) auf dem Bahnsteig **Streckenlänge**: ca. 12 km (ca. 4 Std.) **LGBTQIA +** **[Kostenlos mit Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/village-outdoor/w08-2026/)** Auf unserer ersten Wanderung des Jahres 2026 setzen wir den Berliner Mauerweg an der südlichen Stadtgrenze fort – dieses Mal geht es von Lichtenrade bis zur Gropiusstadt. Schon am S-Bahnhof fällt der Blick auf das historische Industriegebäude der Alten Mälzerei, eine ehemalige Malzfabrik, die vor Kurzem zu einem integrativen Stadtquartier umgestaltet wurde. Vom Bahnhof aus gelangen wir durch ein Wohngebiet zum südlich gelegenen Abschnitt des Mauerwegs. Wie bereits im vorherigen Teilstück führt uns der Weg über weite Strecken entlang der Stadtkante durch die offene Landschaft im Süden Berlins. Der ehemalige „Kolonnenweg“ der DDR-Grenztruppen ist hier teilweise noch erhalten; auch einige der Peitschenlampen, die einst den Grenzstreifen ausleuchteten, stehen noch. Schon aus der Ferne kündigt die markante Silhouette der Gropiusstadt den Endpunkt unserer Wanderung an. **Was ist Village Outdoor?** Village Outdoor Events sind monatliche Treffen der we are village-Community und ihrer Freunde, um Outdoor-Aktivitäten in und um Berlin zu genießen. Jeden Monat gibt es einen kostenlosen und unkomplizierten Spaziergang oder eine Wanderung in Bereichen Berlins oder in der Umgebung, die mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln erreichbar sind. **Hinweise** **Treffpunkt**: 11 Uhr, S-Bahnhof Lichtenrade (S2) auf dem Bahnsteig **Streckenlänge**: ca. 12 km (ca. 4 Std.) **Rückfahrt**: U-Bahnhof Lipschitzallee (U7), **Sprache**: Je nach Bedürfnissen der Gruppe werden wir Deutsch und/oder Englisch sprechen. **Kosten**: Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos mit Anmeldung. *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‘****[Gemeinsam statt einsam](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‘, unterstützt von der* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/en/)****. Erfahre mehr über das Programm [hier](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).* 🔵 **Village Outdoor** **Berlin Wall Trail Section 13** **– From Lichtenrade S-Bahn Station to Gropiusstadt –** with ***Harms*** and ***Thomas*** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/village-outdoor/w08-2026/)** On our first hike of 2026, we continue along the Berlin Wall Trail on the southern city limits – this time from Lichtenrade to Gropiusstadt. Even at the S-Bahn station, the eye is drawn to the historic industrial building of the Alte Mälzerei , a former malt factory that was recently transformed into an inclusive urban quarter. From the station, we walk through a residential area to the southern section of the Wall Trail. As in the previous section, the path leads us along the city’s edge for long stretches through the open countryside in southern Berlin. The former patrol road of the GDR border troops is still partially preserved here; some of the lampposts that once illuminated the border strip are also still standing. Even from a distance, the distinctive silhouette of Gropiusstadt announces the end point of our hike. **What’s Village Outdoor?** Village outdoor Events are monthly meetups for the we are village community and their friends to enjoy outdoor activities in and around Berlin. Each month features a free and easy walk or hike in Berlin or its surrounding areas, accessible by public transport. **General Information** **Meeting point**: 11:00 AM, Lichtenrade S-Bahn station (S2) on the platform **Route length:** approx. 12 km (approx. 4 hours) **Return**: Lipschitzallee U-Bahn station (U7) **Language:** we’ll speak English and/or German, depending on the needs of the group. **Cost**: free event with registration *\*\* This event is part of the we are village program ‘****[Belonging versus Lonelliness](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‘, with the support of the* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/en/)****.
