Head Out into Nature: Discover the Forests
When colorful leaves rustle under your feet, warm rays of sunshine filter through the trees, and the fall air gives you a burst of energy, there’s hardly anything better than a trip into nature. In and around Berlin, you’ll find plenty of wonderful places to do just that—in fact, all of Germany has great destinations to offer. At the city’s largest lake, you can stroll through quiet, hidden forest retreats and enjoy the autumn scenery to the fullest. For even more panoramic views, take a hike up to the Müggelberg — Berlin’s highest point —from where you’ll have an impressive view of the city. An even more spectacular view is offered by the 700-meter-long treetop trail in Beelitz, about 43 km from Berlin. From the observation deck, you can marvel at the golden autumn splendor of the forests stretching from Berlin all the way to the Fläming region.
Fall is here, the days are getting shorter, and the evenings are getting cooler. What could be better than warming up at a candlelight concert? Make yourselves comfortable and let yourselves be enchanted by magical sounds in the soft glow of candlelight. Whether it’s modern hits with a classical twist or timeless masterpieces —there’s something here for every musical taste . Let your heart be warmed as the sounds of strings or piano give your favorite songs a whole new twist!
If you’re in the mood for a special cultural spot during your fall weekend, a detour to Neukölln is well worth it: The Sri Ganesha Hindu Temple Berlin was inaugurated in June 2026 and captivates with its South Indian Dravidian architecture, featuring a Vimana/Raja-Gopuram approximately 17 meters high. Daily rituals such as Aarti, bhajans, and various puja ceremonies take place at the temple.
Autumnal Discoveries: A Day at the Pumpkin Farm
Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, or other pumpkin specialties —fall wouldn’t be half as lovely without its round, orange favorites. To get truly fresh pumpkins, it’s worth visiting one of the pumpkin farms in and around Berlin. There, you can enjoy these treats right from the stands while stretching your legs at the same time. At the largest pumpkin exhibition in Berlin and Brandenburg, held at the Klaistow Hof, you can even discover 100,000 pumpkins from 500 varieties. There are also fascinating wooden sculptures decorated with countless pumpkins—a true pumpkin paradise for fall lovers.

Enjoy a Bavarian Alpine-style fall meal right in the heart of Berlin
Settle into a cozy restaurant and enjoy a warm bowl of pumpkin soup—the Obermaier in Berlin is the perfect spot for that. Right in the heart of the capital, you’ll be taken on a culinary journey straight to the Alps. At this Bavarian-Austrian restaurant, you’ll find southern German classics like Wiener schnitzel, goulash, dumplings, and roast pork with crackling—ideal dishes for fall. The high quality of the ingredients, which come from organic regions in Germany, is particularly impressive.
When it gets gray and cold outside, you can warm up perfectly at the interactive experience museum IKONO .

This immersive experience lets you forget about everyday life and is guaranteed to awaken your inner child —ideal for all ages and a rainy fall day.
Kite flying at Tempelhofer Feld
Tempelhofer Feld is the ideal place to fly kites. Here, the wind blows unhindered, so your kites are guaranteed to soar high. Dress warmly, because it can get chilly here. How about a hot chocolate afterward at the popular Engels Café, located right next to the field? That way, you can wrap up your outing in a relaxed way and fully enjoy the fall atmosphere.
Warm up in Berlin’s most beautiful wellness oases
With so much outdoor activity, you can quickly get cold—which is why it’s especially pleasant to retreat to the city’s wellness oases. Berlin’s saunas offer everything from relaxing women’s hammams to luxurious spas that make you feel like you’re right in Bali. For the ultimate relaxation, you can book a massage —there’s a great selection of them in Berlin. Enjoy that feeling of absolute well-being: When it’s still drizzling outside while you’re being pampered inside, the experience becomes even more magical.
