The real, good, non-touristy winery!
So close from the "famous" one, but yet only true Berliners know about it. The wine is way better than in the other winery, but the place is smaller and less international. I really prefer to go there rather than to the other one, which is always full. Same principle: you pay 2 EUR for a glass, drink as much as you want and pay whatever you want when you leave.

Teufelsberg is a man-made hill built from the debris of the war. It's home to a former listening station, used by the US army to listen to the URSS during the cold war.
