Too hard for thin road bike tires. I ride cyclocross, and I find that a bit of a challenge. Some sections are quite rocky and large. Concentration is key.

Incidentally, Lake Tegel is home to Berlin's oldest oak tree, the "Fat Mary," which is approximately 900 years old. Near the Reiherwerder peninsula, there is a wildlife enclosure. On the northern shore is a tree-lined promenade—Greenwich Promenade—with benches and a playground. Passenger boat moorings are also located here. To the north, the Tegel Harbor Bridge and the Tegel Industrial Harbor extend. Large parts of the eastern shore are owned by boating clubs and are not open to the public. The lake is primarily used by surfers, sailors, motorboaters, and pleasure boaters.
