Runyon Canyon Park in L.A.

Los Angeles - the City of Angels, a hub of excitement, stars, and simply a glamorous metropolis! However, even if you don't believe it, there is a place in California where you won't feel the hustle and bustle of Downtown at all. The stars know this too and enjoy spending time here.

We're talking about Runyon Canyon Park! Just two blocks away from the vibrant Hollywood Boulevard, this park presents visitors with a quiet and beautiful side of L.A. Green lawns, dense growth of various plant species, and above all, a multitude of attractive running and hiking trails are found here. Runyon Canyon Park is a fantastic place to simply unwind, enjoy the surrounding nature, and escape the usually busy life in Hollywood. Many celebrities think so too and love to take a stroll along the park's hiking paths.

Justin Bieber, Hugh Jackman, and also the German fitness model Pamela Reif, along with the queen of all German football player wives - Mario Götze's fiancée Ann-Kathrin Brömmel can be found here soaking up the sun and using the hike to stay fit. With a bit of luck, you might share the trails with real celebrities and have a chance for a photo with Hollywood stars and Instagram influencers.

The heart of the park features a wide path that guides visitors through the Santa Monica Mountains. However, those visiting should deviate from the main path - don't worry, nothing bad awaits you, quite the opposite! On the small side paths, you'll experience the best views during a hike. Generally, various routes of differing difficulty levels cross the park, allowing everyone to choose their optimal trail. Especially for sports enthusiasts, the park is a true paradise and a popular destination for daily training. It's not uncommon to see joggers sweating along one side while others meditate doing yoga on the green lawns.

But whether you're hiking up the park or jogging, the physical activity pays off, as you're rewarded with a stunning view of L.A. Especially from Indian Rock, the highest point in the park, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama. At the 402-meter high summit, visitors can take in a 360-degree view over the City of Angels! Especially in the evening, it becomes an impressive spot to admire the sparkling lights of Los Angeles.
