Mid october my family and I visited Berlin, capital of Germany. We stayed almost four days in the city.
It was my first visit to Berlin and way too short to really get to know the city.
Nevertheless, here are some pictures I took on the first day - Wednesday october the 18th.

1. People relaxing near Treptower Park in the eastern part of the city.

Deutschland ist sehr toll!!! Love the bridge with redish towers on it...I believe you called it "Oberbaumbrücke". Thx for the pics!

This bridge was designed by Otto Stahn and was built from 1894 to 1896.
During the separation of West and East Berlin the bridge connected both parts. People were not allowed to cross it.
Nowadays the bridge is open again, even the U-bahn runs across it.

Beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them.
The Oberbaumbrücke is still my favourite.
I so need to go to Berlin again.
