• Only when snow lies, as the hill has no snow machines, so go the morning after a fresh snowfall
• Busy on snow days, though the main run is wide, so come early for room on the slope
• Waterfall off in winter: the 24-meter waterfall runs from Maundy Thursday to mid or late October, so a snow-day visit finds it dry

Viktoriapark climbs the Kreuzberg, the highest hill in the inner city, with Schinkel's cast-iron National Monument at the top. After a snowfall, families sled down its several slopes. The gradient is moderate enough for small kids, and the main run is wide.

Between runs, there's a wooden climbing playground and an enclosure with goats, rabbits and guinea pigs.
