Lietzensee<br />
The Bohemian population of<br />
Charlottenburg considers this<br />
their “local lake”. It is not suitable<br />
for swimming, but idyllic meadows<br />
around the lake are ideally<br />
suited for sunbathing and snoozing.<br />
The shaded lakeside walks in<br />
the middle of the city are also<br />
popular with dog owners. In the<br />
evening, the few cafés on the<br />
east side offer a great view of<br />
the illuminated Funkturm.<br />

Krumme Lanke<br />
Although Krumme Lanke is<br />
commonly thought not to be<br />
clean enough for bathing, some<br />
people now think otherwise.<br />
In fact, it seems cleaner<br />
(though also colder) than<br />
the water in Schlachtensee.<br />
d Am Fischerhüttenweg<br />
Landwehrkanal<br />
Built in 1845–50, this<br />
is Berlin’s oldest artificial<br />
waterway. The canal connects<br />
the Upper and the<br />
Lower Spree, running east to<br />
west through the western part<br />
of the centre. Take a boat trip<br />
along the canal and you will<br />
see some of Berlin’s<br />
most attractive<br />
bridges. At some<br />
places, it is possible<br />
to lie on the green<br />
banks of the canal<br />
in the middle of the<br />
city, for example at<br />
the Paul-Lincke-Ufer<br />
in Kreuzberg.<br />

Tegeler See<br />
The northernmost<br />
lake in Berlin is<br />
situated in an elegant<br />
residential area. A<br />

walk is Greenwich Promenade,<br />
from Tegeler Hafen (harbour) to<br />
Schwarzer Weg. A small, slightly<br />
hidden lakeside path leads from<br />
here to the other side of the lake<br />
and to a peninsula. Here stands<br />
the Villa Borsig, built in 1905 for<br />
a family of industrialists. Today it<br />
is owned by a foundation and is<br />
closed to the public. If you continue<br />
southward along Schwarzer<br />
Weg, you will get to the Tegeler<br />
See lido. d Alt-Tegel<br />
Neuer See<br />
Visitors will be surprised<br />
to discover the tranquil<br />
New Lake in the<br />
middle of the city, well<br />
hidden at the western<br />
end of the vast Großer<br />
Tiergarten park. On its<br />
banks is the Café am<br />
Neuen See (see p101). A boat<br />
trip or a walk around the lake is a<br />
pleasant way to while away the<br />
day. d Großer Tiergarten • Map M3<br />
