All of Berlin runs - every park and street is used. The city offers you an incredible variety of routes and paths. Along the water, through the city, through parks and forests... . Whether you want to train for your next athletic competition or just go for a run, we have picked out the most beautiful jogging routes in the capital. Give them a try - there's definitely something for everyone.
By the way: On the first Sunday in April, the Berlin Half Marathon and on the last weekend in September the Berlin Marathon. But these are only the really big races in Berlin. Throughout the year, Berlin offers sporting competitions for runners to try their hand at.
Tip 1: One district, 11 neighbourhoods and 21 routes to try out
Every district of Reinickendorf can be run around once - so there are routes of all lengths and for every type of endurance. From 1.3 kilometres around the Steinbergsee or 2.8 kilometres through the Tegeler Fließ to almost 40 kilometres through the Tegeler Forst. In between, the Reinickendorf Running Park offers all lengths and you also have the opportunity to discover cultural places and sights.
Tip 2: Jog along the river - the Pankeweg
Much more fitness is required on the Pankeweg. The trail starts at Chausseestraße and extends to Schlossspark Schönhausen. Along the way, you walk along the river. If you want to go further, you can follow the route all the way to Buch.

Tip 3: Enjoy expansive views - Tempelhofer Feld
This classic must be mentioned because it is simply suitable for everyone: Beginners and experts alike. The runway of the former Tempelhof airport is straight ahead for many hundreds of metres on an absolutely level surface. One lap is 6 kilometres. Plenty of space and room to let your gaze and thoughts wander all the way to the horizon.
Tip 4: Always walk along the water
Around the Stralau Peninsula and on to Treptower Park, there are houseboats at anchor and, on sunny days, lots of people on the green meadow. If you start at Ostkreuz, follow the Uferweg for almost ten kilometres. On the way back, you pass through the Plänterwald forest, past the former Spreepark amusement park, which is now gradually reopening its gates. Art, culture and nature are now being integrated into the park's unique history.
