Am Friedrichshain

One of the nicest parks in a big city in Europe as far as I'm concerned, or at least for dog owners it is. There is absolutely no need to miss the Vondelpark when your in the neighborhood of this park, it's way bigger, has way way more playgrounds and also nice places to eat an ice cream with the kids, have a paste with a beer in the summer (unfortunately not now) or a bulky breakfast at Schoenbrunn.

As in many big parks in cities it is prohibited to let your dog of the leash, but what really stand out in the park and actually in all of Berlin is that everybody - in parks as well as on the street - lets their dog run around free. The Berliners really control their dogs very well, it's quite amazing to see. Also because there are a lot of dogs in Berlin, more than I have ever seen in any other big city. And it's not the smallest dogs they have here. In Amsterdam out dog, Sjakie the Weimaraner, is quite a large dog. Here he's just mediocre, or even quite small on average. I'd say we really need some German training for our dog!
