Olympic Park (Olympiapark)
Olympiapark was built for the 1972 Summer Games on the former Oberwiesenfeld airfield, which operated until 1938. The firm Behnisch & Partner designed the facilities, and the stadium has the tent-like roof designed with Frei Otto. About 3,100 large trees were planted in 1971 and 1972. Today you can walk or run around the Olympiasee and climb the Olympiaberg, the park's highest elevation, which has several sledding runs in winter. The Olympic Tower is 291.28 m tall, with a platform at about 180 m, and is closed for renovation until the end of 2027. The stadium is also under works and cannot be visited. In the meantime, the Skylift, with four gondolas, rises to 70 m with 360-degree views. You can get there on lines U3 and U8, several buses and tram 20.
