Liepnitzsee

The Liepnitzsee is really worth a trip in hot weather. It is a large, idyllic and very clean swimming lake surrounded by forest areas. It is located far north of Berlin, which is why it is not so overcrowded. The best way to get out is by S-Bahn (for example S-Bahn station Bernau) and then along nicely developed bike paths, mostly in the shade of the forest.

There is an island that can be reached by ferry (or by swimming), there is also a garden restaurant, the Insulaner Klause.

Nice detour with a great view.

Nice clean lake. Here you can swim, picnic, ride a bike, hike. Everything a natural heart desires.

There are several swimming areas along the shore, in the northwest also the "Waldbad Liepnitzsee" with children's pool, kiosk, sunbathing areas and a jetty: komoot.de/highlight/93522

Moin Christoph. It's pretty far from Erkner. Bernau is the station of choice if it should be comfortable.

A very beautiful lake, which you can easily walk around and cycle around.

Idyllic lake with trunks on the shore for hikers and well-developed cycle paths in the western and northern parts

Very idyllic location, nice for long-distance driving

It's always fun to drive past 🚴‍♂️

Especially good: the big monkey swing on the south bank

The beaver is already there.

This is a great lake and a quiet atmosphere (during the week)

Great lake. Always super clean and clear water, also significantly cooler than other lakes, which is especially pleasant in summer. There are many small and large bathing spots along the entire bank path, the largest of which is on the west bank. You should definitely swim over to the island, if you don't want to swim, there is also a very nice ferry to the island, bicycles are taken there. On weekends in summer it gets very crowded, but it is always nice here.

Super beautiful lake, but unfortunately overcrowded on hot days because many Berliners had the same idea. In the evening a security company checks the bank where the private walkways are, so you really shouldn't lie there, because then you will be quickly scared away.
A good alternative, when it is so crowded, is “The Three Holy Puddles”, a fishing lake right next door.

CLEAR WATER

Very nice lake, with a nice all-round hiking trail. This is not recommended by bike.

Most beautiful lake in the Berlin area

Would also recommend Bernau, as Erkner is exactly at the other end of Berlin 👍🏻😊

A beautifully situated lake whose banks are not necessarily suitable for cyclists unless they like to carry it or like to push it.

The kiosk at the Waldseebad (in front of the entrance) no longer exists. The kiosk in the Waldseebad will be renovated by the end of July 2022. Now there is only the kiosk at the front of the country road.
