I might visit Berlin this summer. Does anyone know anything about Treptower park? It looks like a nice place to sling a hammock over night, but I can't find a single reference on the web to people kipping there. Obviously camping is verboten. Are there dogs and search lights or anything like that?

Berlin is plenty cheapness, get yourself a hotel and bring loads of sun cream.
The park you suggest is not far from Kreuzberg, the turkish quarter, there's a few bear gardens and many haphazard restaurants on the canal. We were there last year watching the last Germany game during the world cup, awesome atmosphere."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

I wouldn't want to waste money on a hotel, especially as I have a hammock. I see there is at least one campsite in Berlin, but it is jolly expensive (8 Euro/night), but I want to avoid carrying a tent anyway (as it has to fly as aircraft hold luggage due to pointy bits, and that's expensive). My aim is to do all holidays for sub £100 this year, though sub £50 may be possible for many places, e.g. Germany/southern Europe, Ibiza and perhaps Tenerife.Comment

My last holiday was 5 figures, I can't work in these tight budgeted conditions. What kind of contractor are you? Are you sure you're not Scottish?
If you're gonna camp in Berlin camp anywhere, even the tier garten, it's big enough and you'll not be disturbed, crime is almost non-existent in this city.
You know I've just thought of the perfect place, Potsdam, 20 minute s-ban ride out of berlin, loads of parks by the lakes, particularly lake sacrow, bear gardens on the water edge, you could go out for a swim in the morning for you're bath - sorted."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".

Use a day ticket for the s/u-ban, 5 euro and you can use it on ferries on the lakes as well to take you to the bear gartens, very bargainess"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
