The trail leads along the shores of the Jungfernsee, Lehnitzsee, and Krampnitzsee lakes.

At every bend, there were new views of the three lakes.

There are also a few benches at the Jungfernsee for a rest.

Bench With a View of Lehnitzsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lehnitzsee with a view of the bathing area, Krampnitz.
The little detour is worth it and you are away from the bathers. Here you can enjoy the panoramic view and hear the lapping of the waves.

April 19, 2025, Three Lakes Trail (Jungfernsee, Lehnitzsee, Krampnitzsee)

The trail leads along the shores of the Jungfernsee, Lehnitzsee, and Krampnitzsee lakes. At every bend, there were new views of the three lakes. There are also a few benches at the Jungfernsee for a rest. Towards the end, the trail becomes very natural and in places, it's just a narrow path.

This small spot on the shore with a small entrance to the lake is very sheltered from the wind on three sides. On a cool but sunny October day, the sun is shining from the front at around 3 p.m. and you can enjoy the pleasant silence (at least during the week) in a T-shirt and shorts!

It is very easy to drive through the forest and every now and then there is access to the Havel, so you can also swim

Nice and fast hardpack two-track right along the waterfront. Sunset riding recommended.

Who does not want on the road through the king forest, because there are a few strong climbs should use the ways past the Krampnitz lake to get to Sacrow.
