Behind the gas station at Schlesisches Tor, an embankment leads down to the Flutgraben, where a wooden structure from the 1930s stands: formerly the boathouse of a Spree fisherman, today the Freischwimmer with a fireplace room, pier, and its own island garden. As a birthday location in Berlin, it accommodates groups from twelve up to 400 guests.
