This is a copy/paste of hiking instructions I use when organising hikes in Grunewald forest
This is the same forest many have you have joined me for hikes on before, but a totally different route.
We start at S Grunewald at 11:00am (look for the mob of hikers), then head straight into the forest. We meander our way through the forest, then head down the hill to the der Havel river, and follow the coast until heading back up the hill to stop for a lunch break at a biergarten.
From the biergarten, we’re heading back into the forest around the small lake of Barsee and meander our way through the forest to Schlachtensee. This is perfect spot to stop for a swim if you like, but the S-bahn is also nearby for those who need to head off. Anyone who likes, is welcome to join me at the restaurant at Schlachtensee too.
Here is an approximate route:
