I'm visiting Berlin with the primary purpose of taking pictures of my partner doing the inline skating marathon.
The looping for me sounded ideal, since I get more chances to hopefully get a decent picture, but I'm struggling with finding an appropriate viewing spot. Ideally I want something slightly elevated from the track, with a view of both directions of the road.
I tried looking on google maps for maybe cafes or bars that would be on the second floor or similar, but couldn't find anything. So far my best (and not brightest) idea is to stand on a concrete fence at a ubahn entrance.
Any other spectators with any good viewing spot ideas?
Thanks!
check the corner of kleistpark where the route turns onto potsdamer strasse, there's a slight rise on the pedestrian island that gives u a decent angle looking down both ways. it's not super high but you can see them coming from far off and then again as they loop back around the bend. the ubahn station there has a little balcony thing too if you want a few steps up, just watch for the crowds cause it fills up fast
The best spot I've found for photos is on the bridge at Schloßstraße crossing the course near the Rathaus Steglitz stop. You get a clear view of skaters coming toward you and then passing underneath, plus the U-Bahn tracks in the background add some nice framing. It gets crowded but people are usually polite about letting photographers have a bit of space.
If you want something indoor with coffee, the second floor of the Forum Steglitz mall has windows that look right over the route, but you'll be shooting through glass. The glass is pretty clean most days and you can grab a table at the cafe up there without any hassle.
honestly the best spot i found was on the friedrichstraße bridge near the bahnhof, you can lean over the railing and get a perfect top-down view of skaters coming through the arch plus the s-bahn in the background. just get there early cause it fills up fast with other photographers
