• About 200 steps to the top, so it suits kids who can manage a long stair climb on their own
• Bus 218 stops outside at Grunewaldturm, about 100 meters away, since the tower sits deep in the forest off Havelchaussee
• Restaurant with a terrace at the foot of the tower for a meal or a drink after the climb

The Grunewaldturm is a 55-meter red-brick tower from 1899, built on the Karlsberg hill in the Grunewald forest as a memorial to Emperor Wilhelm I. Kids climb about 200 steps to a platform 36 meters up, with views over the treetops and the Havel, as far as Potsdam on a clear day.

The emperor's marble statue stands in the hall, and a restaurant terrace sits at the foot.
