that it was hidden away by a secret society, waiting to be discovered by those worthy of its knowledge. Exploring
Berlin’s bookstores and libraries will undoubtedly revive the sense of mystery and wonder attached to this legend.

to possess magical properties, offering those who find it a glimpse into the future and the ability to communicate
with otherworldly beings.

Legends surrounding the cosmic tree tell of people who have encountered mystical creatures and received
prophecies that shaped their destinies. Exploring the enchanting Grunewald Forest is an adventure in itself, with
