About this tour
This session walks through Tiergarten, from its wooded paths to the base of the Victory Column. You see a layout that still follows the original royal hunting ground the park was laid out on. The session finishes at the column's base, with the story of the golden statue moved to this spot decades after the structure itself was built elsewhere.
We open with a short sound check on a park path. I walk at an easy pace and take questions about the park's design and the column's history as we go. Afterwards I send a short note on what we saw.
This suits anyone who wants a green, easy-paced session in the middle of a busy city. It also works well as a calmer companion to a longer history walk.
