Köllnischer Park, and a guided cemetery tour

Share Button

Two shorter walks for Max today, to replace his one main walk, since I wanted to squeeze in this guided tour of one of the cemeteries at Südstern, and dogs are not allowed inside cemeteries (although, just like most other such laws in Berlin, this is mostly ignored).

Exceptionally for a Saturday, Max went out with Frank yesterday and had a good run-around, so I don’t feel too bad about limiting his amount and quality of exercise somewhat today. And I will take him to one of the dog parks at Tempelhof tomorrow where he always blows off a lot of steam.

Therefore, our morning walk went along Märkisches Ufer and across Köllnischer Park, recently reopened after a lengthy renovation (read more about the park here).

The guided tour at noon was informative, and I think those tours are slightly different each time, so one would probably learn something new even if attending several times. The cemeteries here are diverse in more ways than one, and quite different from the ones in Denmark. Also, the weather was lovely today and there is still a lot left of the autumn vibes.
