The Alster is a 56 kilometer tributary of the Elbe and flows through southern Holstein and Hamburg. The most famous and most striking part of the Alster is the Alster Lake, which is formed in the inner city of Hamburg by the Binnenalster and Außenalster. The development around the Binnenalster is often characterized by white facades and copper-roofed roofs of Gründerzeit office and commercial buildings.
outer Alster
The outer Alster, which is about 164 hectares and up to 4.5 meters deep, is the larger, northern part of the Alster lake. It is fed by the Alster in the north and the Osterbek and Wandse in the east. It flows in the south into the Binnenalster.

Also from this point you have beautiful views of the Outer Alster.
There is a lot to see around the Außenalster, an absolute highlight of our beautiful harbor city - Gründerzeit buildings and villa districts thrill strolling architecture fans, joggers and cyclists. Individual shops, cafes and restaurants invite you to linger. Whether sport, relaxation or just a stroll, the Alster is always a wonderful experience.hamburg-tourism.de/das-ist-hamburg/stadtteile/rund-um-die-alster

A classic highlight in the middle of Hamburg - here is always something going on.
Round trips around or on the Binnenalster and Außenalster as well as walks around the water are with locals and tourists very popular. Sunsets on the outer Alster lend a romantic flair and the adjacent attractions are worth a visit.
With a stately size of 164 hectares, the Outer Alster on all the banks is a popular starting point for walks. For joggers, the paths along the water are also popular and small sailing ships and the Alster steamer make their rounds on the water.
The Kennedy and Lombards Bridge separate the outskirts of the Binnenalster. The Lombards Bridge also marks the old course of the city fortification. Those who find the way to the Outer Alster too tedious, despite all the temptations, prefer the little round around the Binnenalster.

Even if "Alster" as a highlight name is a little meaningful, the Alster is worth seeing.

The early bird catches the worm. This morning at half past six I had the Alster almost to myself. Relaxed driving in a great scenery. Sunrise over Hamburg. Before the city awakes. What is more beautiful.👍

I was traveling with my wife and youngest son on a Saturday in beautiful weather.
It was an incredible operation.
If it's better to drive on a weekday.

Do not forget the fireworks for the Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival on the Outer Alster in May. However, the wheels must be parked at some distance. On the ways to the Alster is then no getting through.
