The Lucia Weihnachtsmarkt in the Kulturbrauerei is my favourite Christmas Market in Berlin; out of roughly 80 markets...
I love the mix of locals and tourists, old Berliners and new ones, and just generally the great food and drinks on offer.
This week I went there twice with guests on tour, and once more yesterday, to meet running friends for a festive end of the year Glühwein.
The atmosphere did not disappoint!

I turned 50 yo a few months ago. So I waited and waited, and finally today conditions were perfect (dry, no wind, 2c), and I ran 50 km around the central districts of Berlin (route in the 2nd pic).

As aid stations I stopped at cafes and kiosks, where I met really nice and encouraging people. Plus, the city looks so beautiful with the Christmas atmosphere on 🎄

It was a truly lovely run; Berlin really is a city for runners!!! 🏃🏻‍♂️

Yesterday I ran in a race called Herbswaldlauf - (En.autumn forest run) in the norther part of Tegel forest.
It is arguably a misleading name, as the temperature was 0c when we started. In a way, this beautiful 11km trail race marks the transition from autumn to winter; and I love winter running!

Roughly 17.7% of Berlin's land area are different kinds of woodland and forest. Most of it is in the north and northwest of the city,

For my trail run yesterday, I took the S1 to Frohnau and randomly ran through forests and fields, enjoying these spectacular autumn views.

For the 35th anniversary to the opening of the Berlin Wall, I spoke to travel writer Joe Baur
about my experiences of riding centuries around the Berlin Wall Trail.
In this beautifully written article, Joe explores how the now-famous Berlin Wall Trail helps rewriting the legacy of the Berlin Wall.
The article was published last week in
and I think is interesting to read even for people who don't like cycling 162 km in one day

Autumn is just a wonderful time for trail running!
Today I ran 10k in the 44. Schmalzstullen Lauf, a.k.a Tegeler Crosslauf.
The Crosslauf is probably Berlin's best trail running event, one that I am always happy to run again.
Conditions, too, were perfect, with no-rain no-wind, and 2 degrees Celsius.
During warmup I stopped for a traditional selfie with Diecke Marie - a 917 years old Oak tree (Quercus robur) - Berlin's oldest tree.

Earlier in the afternoon I attended a memorial service for the Jewish victims of 9.November 1938 progrom, more commonly known its N**i name - the Kristal Nacht.

I saw 3 Israeli flags and one flag, in quiet solidarity with the victims of the Amsterdam pogrom of 7 November 2024 - known now as Jodenjacht - Dutch for "Jew Hunt"
(name recovered by the Dutch police from the organisers telegram account).

Wishing the injured Maccabi fans speedy recovery!

Every year I ride the 160km of the Berlin Wall Trail in one day.
Last week, rather spontaneously I was joined by my friend from my running club, who happens to be a tremendous cyclist.

For me, cycling the Wall Trail is always an adventure of remembrance and nature; a ride that give one time to soak in the beautiful nature of Berlin in autumn, as well as time to think, and maybe even tell a story or two.

This time I was also happy to do it close to the 9th of November, the memorial day for the opening of the Berlin Wall.

Today will be the 35th anniversary to the opening of the Wall. Memorial services will take place in places like the Brandenburg Gate, and Böse Brücke.

Tour guiding in Berlin

I started guiding walking and bus tours in Berlin, Dresden and Potsdam, and the Memorial site Sachsenhausen back in 2010. Since then I expended my range to guide cycling and running tours as well.
