The Jungfernstieg was originally called Reesendamm, which was built to dam the Alster. In 1665 the embankment became a promenade with rows of trees where families and their unmarried daughters went for a walk on Sundays (hence the name).
In 1838, the Jungfernstieg was the first road in Germany to be paved.

The Alster tours begin here. We decided on the 1-hour journey, 20 euros per person, unfortunately the Hamburgcard doesn't help. But it was very informative, sat well, saw a lot, funny comment. Sitting on the right side does more. There was a toilet and a drinks machine.

The Binnenalster is 0.2 square kilometers in size.
It is also called the parlor of Hamburg.
You can shop at Jungfernstieg and Ballindamm and enjoy the view of the Hamburg skyline from Lombardsbrücke.

Absolutely perfect for the summer evening - from ice cream to umbrella drinks to the opportunity to sit and watch, everything you need is there.

What a reservoir can be good for... What began as a mill pond and at times had an anti-aircraft position is now an urban center.

In earlier times, families took their unmarried daughters (Jungfern) out on the Jungfernstieg.

the Jungfernstieg is the promenade along the Binnenalster. Located on the southern bank of the Hamburg Alster. The historic promenade is the focal point in the center of the Hanseatic city.

Along the southern bank of the Inner Alster Lake is the Jungfernstieg, a popular promenade in the Hanseatic city. In the Alster Pavilion, you can take a break with a hot drink, soft drink, or Alster water. The open staircases invite you to sit comfortably right by the water, and Hamburg can be explored from the water on an Alster cruise with the Alsterdampfschifffahrt e.V. association or Alster-Touristik GmbH.

Mönckebergstraße and the Colonnaden are also located in the immediate vicinity of the Jungfernstieg.

The Inner Alster is completed by the Alsterfleet and a 200-meter-long tributary, the Kleiner Alster, which runs directly past the town hall. A stele next to the canal commemorates the war dead of the First World War.

For over 400 years, the Alster swans have made their home along the canal; Hamburg without the white swans is hard to imagine.
From November to March, the swans move into their winter quarters in Eppendorf.

The impressive silhouette of buildings surrounding the Inner Alster Lake offers a unique sight, especially in the evenings. Some of the Hanseatic city's most renowned hotels – such as the Hotel Atlantic and the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten – are also located around the Alster. The Alster Fountain, which shoots an average of 60 meters of water into the air, was put into operation at noon in April 1987. During the winter, the fountain is replaced by a Christmas tree decorated with lights.

In cold winters, the Outer Alster Lake sometimes freezes over, and thousands of Hamburg residents stroll across the ice during the so-called Alster Ice Fun. Children skate, and even adults take a run-up and slide for fun.

``` However, the frozen surface is only opened when the ice has an average minimum thickness of 20 centimeters: this was most recently the case in 1997 and 2012.

The basin of the Binnenalster contains as much water as all Hamburg residents consume daily as drinking water
On average, the Inner Alster is no deeper than 3 meters
If it freezes enough in winter and the ice layer is at least 20 cm thick, you can ice skate here

Here at Jungfernstieg you can enjoy the view of the Inner Alster or book one of the many boat tours through the harbor or the canals. The canal tour currently costs 28 euros for 2 hours and we really enjoyed it.

Simply always beautiful, in any weather and in any season. It's definitely worth taking a boat tour and then having a coffee in the Alex (Alsterpavillion), wonderful.
