Berlin Exploration: Art, Commerce, and Cuisine
A scenic five-mile walk from the Olympic Stadium to Dahlem offers a mix of culture, history, and local charm. The route passes by modern museums, upscale shops, and historic landmarks, all while winding through leafy residential streets.
The journey starts at Olympiastadion S-Bahn or U-Bahn station, heading along Trakehner Allee before turning onto Heilsberger Allee. A left onto Sensburger Allee leads to the Georg Kolbe Museum, currently accessible only via Café Benjamine due to ongoing construction. Inside, the exhibition Liaisons runs until March 15, 2026, showcasing works by Georg Kolbe, Herbert List, Harry Hachmeister, Jens Pecho, and Maurice Béjart.
Further along, the route passes the **Mommsenstadion**, home to Tennis Borussia Berlin, before reaching the **Eichkamp housing estate**. Built in the 1920s, this quiet neighbourhood features single-family homes designed by architects like Bruno Taut and Franz Hoffmann. Nearby, the **Roseneck area** along Hohenzollerndamm offers high-end dining and shopping, including Lindner Delicatessen, Confiserie, and Habel-Weinstube. Approaching Grunewald S-Bahn station, the **Gleis 17 Memorial** stands as a solemn reminder of history—over 10,000 Jews were deported from this site during World War II. The walk concludes at the **Brücke Museum** on Bussardsteig, where the exhibition *The World Must Be Seen Anew – Paintings by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff* remains on display until **February 15, 2026**.
The route blends cultural stops with urban exploration, from Olympic heritage to modern art. Visitors can experience Berlin’s history, architecture, and culinary scene in a single afternoon. Both museums and memorials along the way remain open for public visits.
