Berlin's sensational swimming lakes

Quaintly lined by reeds and mature trees, the Große Lienewitzsee is a wonderful destination, but the shore is difficult to reach. For bathing lures this bathing place, which is the only one of the entire lake.

Is great for a little picnic trip during the bike round. Highly recommended for romantics at sunset! Dreamlike color games on the water surface. ;)

Beautiful sandy beach from which you can walk long in the shallow water. Ideal for families with children. Ice cream and snacks are available at the kiosk. Admission: a few euros

Surrounded by the forest, the Maxsee offers no big beaches, but heavenly Badeidylle for all water rats, which prefer it a little quieter and more natural.

Idyllically situated in the nature reserve Sacrower See and Königswald, the lake Sacrower probably has the best water quality of the lakes in and around Berlin. There is not much room to lie here, so it's best to enjoy the cool waters.

The Waldbad Templin, located a few kilometers outside of Potsdam in the direction of Caputh, is a great place to swim for all water lovers - from young to old - and easy to reach by bike or car. If you love action, you will find a beach volleyball facility and a large water slide next to surf and boat rental. On weekends is busy here, so I would recommend the ride on the bike. If you are too exhausted to go home after bathing, you can relax with the Potsdam water taxi.

The Werlsee, which is up to 15 meters deep, is known for its good bathing quality, and in summer it is a popular destination for swimming and weekend captains. At the beach you can relax and enjoy the sun and refresh yourself in the cool water.

Strictly speaking, the largest lake of the Wandlitzer Seengebiet is called Wandlitzer See. The fish-rich lake is hardly cultivated and is therefore particularly popular with nature lovers in and around Berlin. The beach band is open during the summer months and offers a kiosk, boat rental, children's playground, diving tower and various other sports facilities.

No official bathing area with a large lawn, but quiet location for those who like it a little secluded.

The small bathing spot on Stienitzsee is especially nice for cooling off in summer.

Idyllic lake between Moabit and Tegel with natural outdoor pool, which has a hundred-year-old tradition (strandbad-ploetzensee.de). On the northwestern shore there is a nudist bathing area and meadow.

Scenic location, the beach is just the thing for fans of the Ostalgia. Somewhat older it offers a large sandy beach and a lawn with plenty of shade and adjoining beer garden. The adjacent Seebad Casino offers boat rental. The large shallow water zone attracts mainly families with children.

Child- and family-friendly beach with a beautiful view of the Buckowsee. With bistro and ice cream van.

Located in the Berlin district of Alt-Hohenschönhausen, the Orankesee is just the thing for all water rats who do not want to move too far out of the city center for a natural bath. The beach Orankesse is equipped with the finest Baltic Sea sand from the Baltic Sea Ahlbeck - but in the summer also correspondingly well-attended.

Wonderfully located seaside resort with sandstrad and beach bar, where you can relax wonderfully. The entrance fee to the beach is 4.50 for adults and 2.50 for children. Beach chairs are available from 3.00 EUR. Beach volleyball and boat rentals are also available. Or you look on a boat tour from the nearby Templiner lake just over ...
