Viktoria Park

Wandering around the Kreuzberg neighborhood this afternoon, I came upon a park with a winding trail up a hill. Hills are quite rare in Berlin, so I figured this was just one of the larger Tueflsburgs (sp?), mounds of detritus from WWII covered with dirt.
That turned out not to be the case, as I reached the top and came upon the Prussian Memorial to soldiers killed during the Napoleonic Wars.






The view from the top was quite nice.





The waterfall pictured escaped my notice on my walk up because I came into the park from the opposite direction. But I couldn't leave without enjoying a bit of time sitting nearby and listening to the rushing water.





And a great statue was waiting to be admired at the bottom of the waterfall.
