Drachenberg / Kite Hill (Mountain) (Berlin)

Germany / Brandenburg / Kleinmachnow / Berlin
 mountain, paragliding

While this does provide a good view of Berlin, the best views were from the adjacent Teufelsberg when it was a listening post and the locals would come here and sunbathe in the nude. Very good views of Berliners. The site is Kite Mountain / Drachenberg. When the Allies took over Teufelsberg, the next rubble dump was Drachenberg. The Brits kept the actual height of the new rubble heap lower than the other rubble heap -- so they wouldn't have to build another site on a different heap. I flew my kites from Teufelsberg in the evening and made them out of aluminum foil just to give some of the guys something to puzzle over.
