The Orankesee is a small, pretty lake in northeast Berlin, a local favourite for swimming and lazing on warm days. With its historic lido, the Orankesee offers a relaxed alternative to the city's bigger, busier beaches. This overview gathers Berlin locations around the lake.
The Strandbad Orankesee lido keeps a sandy beach, lawns and a diving tower in the Hohenschoenhausen district, drawing families and locals in summer. Cafes and playgrounds add to the appeal, and the surrounding streets stay quiet and residential. It is a gentle, neighbourhood spot away from the tourist trail.

The bike tour through Lichtenberg and Hohenschönhausen takes a good hour and a half from the memorial in Genslerstraße via the Mies van der Rohe House from 1932 to Obersee and Orankesee. Afterwards, it becomes rural: The Malchower Aue has been a nature reserve since 1995, and Scottish Highland cattle graze on the Malchow Nature Farm.
Hohenschönhausen's jogging route runs past Orankesee, Faulensee and Obersee.
