We went on a lovely but cold Sunday morning adventure to explore the ruins at Teufelsberg. The view was amazing but eerie at the same time, walking on a historical but forgotten and disputed site.

Teufelsberg
Teufelsberg is an artificial hill with a curious history: it was built by the Allies after the Second World War from the rubble of Berlin as the city was rebuilt. One estimate for the amount of rubble is about 12 million cubic meters, or about 400,000 buildings. In 1957 the US National Security Agency built one of its largest listening stations on top of the hill.
