Berlin guide – GoldenTimesNewWoman

Spreepark

Speepark is one of this places, that I always wanted to visit – an abandoned amusement park, sounds exciting, doesn’t it? It would be better to have a “private tour” without a guide and a group of people, but still, it was something. With my “so close to understanding” german, we separated a bit from a group and wandered around, discovering it partly by ourselves.

I went there twice. The first time by accident, when I’ve decided to bike around Treptower park. I knew that it was open but I had no idea how it worked. I found the gate and went inside. It turned out that there are two tours per day (only on weekends) at 1 pm and 4pm. It was 2pm and I’ve decided to wait. I was walking around the entrance area and took like 200 pictures. At 2pm I gave up, it was not a day for waiting.
The second time was with T., it was a beautiful day. I am still impressed with a history of this place that contains bankruptcy, Peru, big amount of drugs in a flying carpet and a long sentence in jail. If you’re interested, watch the Achterbahn (Der Spreepark) Dokument.

Boxi, Friedrichshain

Saturday has it’s own rhythm. Depending on the night before, it has to be slow sometimes. Since few weeks we have Silo cafe, that is too close not to use it during this tough days. When coffee helps you feel like a human again, there’s a Boxi (Boxhagener Platz) just behind the corner. On Sundays it’s famous for it’s flea market, but Saturdays belong to fruits, veggies, flowers and food in general. Everything is so beautiful and tasty around that you feel better and better with each round.

Street Food Thursday, Berlin

I wrote about Street Food Thursday over here. Still, it’s worth mentioning. We go there almost each Thursday, as there’s so many goodies to try.

Walk in Berlin

Klunkerkranich, rooftop in Neukoln

Sky over Berlin is incredible. I have never seen so many beautiful sunsets in one city. It does not happen every day, but often enough. It makes you want to go on a roof and feel the space. And there is a perfect spot for it – Klunkerkranich located on a last floor of Arkaden’s parking in Neukoln. I ended up over here by accident, while looking for a rooftop to take pictures from and I instantly fell in love with this spot.

There is a nice garden and a bar area just next to it. You can have a drink, relax and enjoy the view, while listening to some good tunes.Project was supposed to be open for a summer, but weather is still perfect in Berlin, so enjoy.

Klunkerkranich, Karl-Marx-Str. 66, 12043 Berlin
auf dem Parkdeck der Arcaden. You need to take a lift on the last floor and try to get as high as possible.
