We're back in Berlin for the last day of our vacation and staying at a hotel near the airport, so…read morewe took advantage of the locale and lovely weather to take a two-hour walk around just one segment of the lake (I think it would take an entire day to traverse the entire lakeside walk). This was my ninth visit to Berlin during a period of 36 years and I'd never before explored this part of the city (the very northwest corner). It was a really nice way to end our stay in Germany. There was something very special about the walk and also the surrounding neighborhood (re: the latter, there are lovely houses and a very peaceful/charming ambiance). Truly delightful and memorable....

At the end of the park is the entrance where you'll be greeted by a beautiful building that leads down stairs to the beach. One of the most fun places in berlin to spend time at in the summer, you can take a swim in the lake, eat the delicious pizza at cucina inflagranti near the beach bar and you can grab a refreshing aperol spritz while enjoying some vinyl being played in the boat DJ booth by amazing DJs from all over. If you go to the far left of the beach there is a private nude part of the beach that has a room you can get a massage at. 10/10 recommend , one of my favorite places in berlin!

Es existieren zwei Gruppen-Umkleideräume (Mann, Frau) mit jeweils ca. 20 Spints, die zu einem guten Teil nicht nutzbar sind, weil ihre Schlösser aufgebrochen wurden. Es schließt sich jeweils eine Mannschaftsdusche an, die ebenso heruntergekommen und oftmals dreckig ist wie die Umkleideräume selbst. Der Strand selbst ist OK und wird von einem engagierten Bademeister betreut.
