슈트라우제‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪14‬개의 호수

Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you can simply jump into the water here. But the view is worth it at any time of year and day.

There are many swimming spots along the lakeside hiking trail. This is one of them. Beautiful place!

The bathing area is close to the ferry and is therefore easy to reach. At night, by moonlight, you have a wonderful view of the illuminated city.

Straussee is located directly next to the town of Strausberg, which in turn is only 35 kilometers from Berlin and is well connected to the city by S-Bahn and regional trains. This makes the lake one of Berlin's bathtubs. This elongated body of water is fed by groundwater and connected to three other lakes via the Annafließ stream. The line runs from southwest to northeast; our hiking friends recognize the glacial channel. If you want to get an initial impression on Wikipedia, you'll come across a major problem that is of great concern to the people of Strausberg: the lake is losing water dramatically. The main causes are probably low rainfall, increased evaporation, and increased groundwater extraction. We were last here at the end of March 2019. Even then, the significantly lower water level was noticeable. Now, in the summer of 2021, the situation has been addressed in that the former sandy bottom of the lake is now being cleared for swimming areas.

If you cross the Straussee with the electrically operated passenger cable ferry, which is unique in Europe, to the forest side and follow the shore path in a southerly direction, you will come across a quiet and natural bathing area.

Once around it's around 10km. You can also take a shortcut by ferry. But check the timetable: in winter only on weekends.

After the heavy rainfall in recent weeks, the level has risen slightly again, but is still far away from the previous level. There are jetties that are now on dry land.

Unfortunately, the lido has been closed lately. Here and there are places where you can get into the water.
