Field trip to the Müggelberge

The Müggelberge are Berlin's highest natural hills loacted in the southeast of Berlin's Treptow-Köpenick quarter. They offer many illustrative examples within a relatively small area that highlight the Pleistocene and Holocene landscape development of this region. In addition to fundamental aspects of Pleistocene inland glaciations, we will examine small-scale landforms and work together to decipher how they formed. A highlight will be the Müggelturm, which offers a fantastic view of the city and the surrounding countryside.

The field trip is part of this year’s Geo.X Annual Meeting, themed “Landscapes over Time” offering the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the geomorphological development of the city of Berlin. 

When: 9 October 2026

Where: We meet at 10 AM at Tram station Wendenschloß (Tram 68) and will finish at ca 3 PM at the Bus stop Rübezahl (Bus 169). The walking distance will be 6-7 km. 

Please bring: Snacks, water, 3-6 € entrance for the entrance fee to the Müggelturm (3 € with student ID)

Excursion leader: Jacob Hardt (Freie Universität Berlin)

Participants: The field trip is open to all colleagues from the Geo.X network. Places are limited to 15 participants. 

We will postpone the excursion by one week if the weather forecast is very poor.
