The Tegel Lake is a beautiful stretch of water in northwest Berlin, framed by forest and dotted with islands. A favourite for swimming, sailing and lakeside walks, the Tegel Lake offers a relaxed day out close to the city. This overview gathers Berlin locations around its shores.
Beaches, boat hire and lakeside beer gardens line the water, while ferries cross to a wooded island and the Tegel Forest wraps the shore. Sailing clubs, promenades and cafes make the most of the setting, and the Greenwich Promenade offers an elegant waterside stroll. It is one of the city's most pleasant lakes.
