What to see
Pause outside the Museum of Modern Art for the old-town view. Humboldt Terrace and Richterhöhe offer different viewpoints. Wasserspiegel explores water supply; it is a museum, not a public shortcut through the reservoir
How to walk
Climb from Mülln Church and continue to the museum, Humboldt Terrace and Richterhöhe. After Wasserspiegel, descend to the Horse Pond. The track includes climbs; taking the lift changes the start of the walk
