Yet another one of Berlin's best kept secrets ... I'm almost ashamed to admit it - but it's taken me 4 years to find out about this beautiful little gem - Körner Park - which I immediately dubbed The Sans Souci of Neukölln.
No one can deny that Neukölln has a lot going for it, and it is without a doubt one of Berlin's most interesting neighborhoods.

And yet, that's exactly what Körner Park is: a beautiful little gem of a park with well maintained green lawns to stretch out on, fountains aplenty, and a lovely little cafe that offers a most delicious Sicilian Orange-Chocolate Cake, which alone would be reason enough to rush back there, even if it weren't for the wholly unexpected beauty of the park itself:
