Strandbad Jungfernheide

The Jungfernheide lido in green Charlottenburg attracts with a fine sandy beach, relaxed sunbathing lawns, and a diverse range of water sports right in the heart of the Volkspark. Whether wakeboarding, stand-up paddling, or simply sunbathing – here you will find the perfect cool-down on hot days in one of Berlin's most beautiful lidos.

What is the atmosphere and facilities like on site?

Those looking for a break from everyday life are in the right place at Strandbad Jungfernheide, as the location promises a real holiday feeling in West Berlin. The well-maintained, fine sandy beach and the spacious sunbathing lawns offer ample space to spread out your towel and get comfortable. The layout is particularly pleasant: while families with children appreciate the shallow entry into the water and the slide, ambitious swimmers can do their laps in the separate 50-meter area. A long bathing jetty also leads directly into Jungfernheide Lake, making it easier to get into the cool water.

Comfort is also a top priority away from the water. You can rent sun loungers and umbrellas on site if you don’t want to lie on the lawn. The dense trees of the surrounding Volkspark also provide natural shade, which is a great advantage, especially on very hot summer days.

What does the lido offer for active people and connoisseurs?

For all those who don’t just want to laze around, Strandbad Jungfernheide offers a wide range of sports. The highlight is certainly the water ski facility (wakeboard), which, with its 2-mast construction, is also excellent for beginners. Here you can try your first attempts on the board or refine your tricks. If you want to take it a bit easier, rent a SUP board and explore the lake paddling from the water. You can also get active on land, for example on the beach volleyball court, where exciting matches are often held.

After sports or sunbathing, hunger usually strikes. The “Strandhaus“ (Beach House) provides a remedy here. The café with its beautiful terrace offers a great view over the lake and provides you with everything you need: from coffee and cake to snacks, cool drinks, and cocktails. Since the Strandhaus is also accessible independently of the bathing operation, you often meet walkers from the park here. Remember that on busy days, online tickets guarantee admission, saving you unnecessary waiting times at the ticket office.
