The travel cost method (TCM) is applied to an urban forest site in Berlin, Germany. The study strongly suggests the feasibility of the TCM for urban forest sites. Recreational demand is less elastic for Berlin residents than for non-residents. Online survey participants show a more elastic demand than those sampled on-site. An overall consumer surplus of 14.95 € per visit is estimated for the whole sample.
