=== Less touristic attractions === ==== Sowjetisches Ehrenmal ==== Huge and impressive memorial for the Soviet soldiers that died during World War II. Year round impressive, but extra special are the 23rd of February (day of the Red Army), 9th of May (Capitulation of Germany) and in autumn when the trees around the memorial turn red. ==== Tempelhof ==== Huge former airfield. Built in the 1920's, extended by Nazi-Germany and used to provide West-Berlin during the Cold War. The airport closed in 2008 and was opened as a park in 2010. Over the last years, people started to fill parts of the area with small gardens. A new video published April 2014 that really shows the vibe of Templehof! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zuh1v5qwjNU#t=53 ==== Teufelsberg ==== In south-western Berlin you can find an old American listening station, built upon a man made 'mountain' out of rubbish from World War II. From the station, there's a great view over the city and the dome/ball on top of the station provides a great acoustic. Since 2012, all holes in the fences are repaired and a security guy asks €7 as an entree fee. In the weekends a [http://www.berlinsightout.de/ guided tour] is possible for €15. ==== Waterfall in Viktoriapark ==== ==== Eisfabrik ==== ==== Pfaueninsel ==== ==== Spreepark ==== Abandoned theme park in Plänterwald.

If you are more interested, a visit to the [http://dkb-stiftung.de/web/Das_Olympische_Dorf_von_1936.32.htm Olympic Village] could be a nice addition. ==== Berliner Unterwelten ==== Visit an underground peoples bunker or the anti-aircraft towers in Volkspark Humboldthain.
