Berlin - 18 stops - par 55

Berlin is the city, and the map is the real city where the round is played on its actual streets. The real attractions, like the Berlin Wall, are what the holes are built from. I know every corner of the place from a bird's eye view. This full round of 18 holes has a par of 55 and covers a walk of 12 km, with portals helping the ball skip across the map.

THE BERLIN ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Berlin Wall

The government of the GDR commenced construction of the Berlin Wall on 13 August 1961. This guarded concrete barrier encircled West Berlin until 1989, separating it from East Berlin and the German Democratic Republic. The primary intention was to prevent East German citizens from fleeing to the West. To ensure this, the barrier included guard towers and a wide area containing beds of nails, anti-vehicle trenches, and other defenses. Today, the site is a cultural heritage monument in Berlin. I've seen plenty of things built in this city, but nothing quite like these concrete walls.

Look up at the 47 meters of height before taking in the rest of the Reichstagsgebäude. Located on Platz der Republik in Berlin, this government building is a parliament building with architects including Paul Wallot, Norman Foster, and Paul Baumgarten. Its inception was in 1894. Today, the Reichstag is the seat of the Bundestag parliament and the meeting place of the Federal Convention. I've seen plenty of tourists stop here to admire the scale of the place, and it is certainly a sight to see from the street level.
