bathing lakes

Purest water, sand as fine as powder and a beer garden right on the beach - do you need anything more to be happy?

Not only the extremely clear water with a depth visibility of up to 4 metres but also two green enchanted little islands in the lake make Groß-Glienicker See very special to its visitors.

Nestled away in the forest under pine trees you will find the bathing beach Kleiner Müggelsee.

Tucked away in the Grunewald, deserted and absolutely peaceful - if you prefer a calmer place to go for a swim, the bathing spot Badestelle Kuhhorn on the banks of the Havel might just be the place for you.

Small, private coves with tall-standing oaks and acorns providing shade are a trademark of Schlachtensee.

Directly on the lake “Großer Lankesee” 60 kilometers from Berlin and about 35 minutes from Tegel Airport lies the Seehaus (lake house) belonging to the Liebenberg castle. Here one experiences decelerated vacation par excellence.

Liepnitzsee with its crystal-clear water has long ceased to be an insiders' tip, yet it is still quite picturesque.

A large sandy beach, shaded spots in a small grove and several small bathing spots in the Lieper Bucht open the view of the river Havel and the island Lindwerder.

If you can't do without amenities like changing rooms, restrooms and snack bars, you should go for a swim at Strandbad Orankesee.

Plötzensee is not really an insiders' tip tucked away off the beaten track, it's much more centrally located in the city - in the heart of Berlin-Wedding. It is, so to speak, a lake with S-Bahn connection.
