Strandbad Wendenschloss

Strandbad Wendenschloss is located on the Langen See in Köpenick, with a sandy beach, jetty, and diving tower. Admission costs 7 Euros, reduced 4.50 Euros, children aged three to twelve pay 3 Euros. Beach chairs, sun loungers, and umbrellas are available for rent, along with beach volleyball, table tennis, a bocce court, and a beer garden with a beach bar.

Sandy beach on the Langen See in Köpenick

Anyone who gets off at the final stop of Tram 62 walks for about ten minutes through a quiet villa district before the sand appears between the pines. The journey there is part of the pleasure, as Köpenick at this spot feels more like a lakeside suburb than a metropolis. Strandbad Wendenschloss is located on Möllhausenufer where the Langen See borders the Köpenick peninsula, and the water at this point is shallow enough for families with small children to safely enter. Beach chairs, loungers, and umbrellas can be rented on-site; those who prefer to lie on their own towel will also find shady spots among the trees. A beer garden with a beach bar serves the beach, and those who don’t want to travel by land can take ferry F12 from Wassersportallee in Grünau and disembark at Müggelbergallee. Many guests deliberately choose this water approach because it turns the visit into a small excursion. Prices remain reasonable: 7 Euros for adults, 4.50 Euros reduced, and a family ticket covers two adults and one child.

Jetty with diving tower, boats, and bocce

From the shore, a jetty leads out onto the lake; at its end stands a diving tower that attracts the longest queue on hot days. Those who prefer to paddle themselves can rent a stand-up paddleboard or a boat; the Flotte Dahme boat rental is located directly on the beach. On land, a beach volleyball court, several table tennis tables, and a bocce court complement the offerings, and for the little ones, there’s a dedicated playground with a view of the water. For school classes, the operator provides its own reservation tool and a reduced rate per child, in addition to multi-visit passes and a season ticket for those who come more often. Strandbad Wendenschloss is listed as barrier-free, and online tickets secure preferential entry before a queue forms at the entrance. Those who visit the bath often will find the six-visit pass or the season ticket significantly cheaper than individual day tickets. The beer garden remains open even when no one is in the water anymore, making the facility a destination that isn’t solely decided by the thermometer. Those who come by bike can cycle along the riverside path and save themselves the detour via the tram.
