The forest occupies, on the western side, 3/4 of the
Grunewald locality, a small portion of the southern part of
Westend (both in the
Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf borough); a great part of
Nikolassee, the northern side of
Zehlendorf and the northwestern part of
Dahlem (all 3 in the
Steglitz-Zehlendorf borough). It is close to the border of the neighborhood of
Wannsee and its
lake, and is near the
Düppel forest. It is divided by the Havel river from the localities of
Kladow,
Gatow and
Wilhelmstadt (all in the
Spandau borough). It also borders the locality of
Schmargendorf. There are two islets located off the forest in the Havel (
Lindwerder and
Schwanenwerder) and a small peninsula (
Schildhorn); and the tallest point is the hill of
Teufelsberg, which is above sea level. On the northern border is found the
Funkturm Berlin (radio tower) and the
Messe Berlin (the trade show). Beyond the river
Havel and part of the
Großer Wannsee lake, the forest is rich in
lakes and
ponds. The biggest are the
Schlachtensee,
Krumme Lanke, the
Grunewaldsee and the
Hundekehlesee (). These lakes are located along the eastern edge of the forest and are linked by a canal. The other lakes are the
Riemeisterfenn (between Krumme Lanke and Grunewaldsee), the
Teufelssee (in central-north area), and
Pechsee and
Barssee (both in the middle of the forest). ==Environment==
