Rübezahl am Müggelsee

Far out in Köpenick, right on the shore of Müggelsee, lies one of Berlin's most famous waterside excursion restaurants. The Rübezahl am Müggelsee combines a beer garden, bistro, and fisherman's hut into a place that offers lake views and relaxation all year round.

Rübezahl am Müggelsee: Beer, Smoked Fish, and Lake Views

Rübezahl is located in the nature reserve in Köpenick, which is half the appeal. Those who come here usually make a real outing of it. From the terrace, you can enjoy a wide view over the Müggelsee, which appears dramatic or idyllic depending on the weather. Rübezahl is a beer garden and bistro, holiday park and ice rink, party and event location all in one, which explains why it’s busy here all year round. The large beer garden is only separated from the Müggelsee by a footpath, so practically directly on the shore. The menu features what you expect from a waterside excursion destination: bratwurst, burgers, beer, but also smoked fish, shrimp, fish rolls, as well as cakes and coffee. Classic excursion gastronomy, without frills, but with substance.

Rübezahl am Müggelsee: Open All Year Round

What distinguishes Rübezahl am Müggelsee from many other waterside excursion restaurants in Berlin is its season. The restaurant is open all year round, providing a reason for an outing even in the cold season. In winter, guests like to gather around the winter campfire with a homemade mulled wine. In summer, the fun continues directly: In front of Rübezahl, there is a boat landing for excursion ships that sail across the Müggelsee. In addition, there is a boat rental on site. Children can let off steam on the adventure playground while adults order their next fish roll. For longer stays, holiday homes are available directly on the Müggelsee. This makes Rübezahl am Müggelsee more than just a restaurant. It is a complete day trip.
