    With an impressive size of 164 hectares, the Outer Alster is a popular starting point for walks on all banks. The paths along the water are also popular with joggers and small sailing ships and Alster steamers make their rounds on the water.

      The Outer Alster, which is approx. 164 hectares in size 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. In the south it flows into the Inner Alster.

      There are footpaths and cycle paths around this reservoir, which are very popular with Hamburg residents for relaxation and jogging. The path, which is almost continuously located directly on the bank, was marked with half-kilometer stones for joggers and runners and is 7.4 kilometers long. The Outer Alster itself is mainly used for sailing and rowing, as well as pedal boating and stand-up paddling. As a sailing area, it is not very easy, as the frequently changing wind conditions due to the peripheral buildings and the confluent streets require some skill on the part of the sailors - in addition, here on the water, "right before left" applies (except for the Alster steamers, commercial shipping always has priority).

        A romantic moment of sunset on the Alster. Preferably with a glass of wine on the bank.
