Top 7 Lakes around Volkspark Jungfernheide

Species-rich bank region. The lake is a paradise for walkers, but also for waterfowl.

Romantic View Let your gaze wander into the distance to the shelter and enjoy the peace and nature around you. This is exactly what landscape architect Erwin Barth envisioned more than 100 years ago. And because everything has been so wonderfully designed, the entire Jungfernheide Public Park is a garden monument, which is particularly cherished and cared for by the Parks Department. May we introduce: Nymphaea alba Its beauty has always inspired famous painters. The white water lily (Nymphaea alba) is native to Central Europe and can also be found in the Jungfernheide Pond. From May to September, it produces fragrant white flowers that can grow up to 12 cm in size. The yellow stamens release abundant pollen, which attracts flies, reed beetles, and bumblebees. According to legend, water lilies are guarded by mermaids who drag anyone who tries to pick them into the depths. While this is (probably) not true, the lesson of the story is still very relevant: Water lilies are protected and may not be picked!

Naturally planned The Jungfernheide Pond is a man-made body of water fed by the Nonnengraben ditch from the Berlin-Spandau shipping canal. In the area of the lido, the lake is also enriched with groundwater during the bathing season to improve the water quality. Please note: You can splash and swim to your heart's content at the Jungfernheide lido. Swimming is not permitted in the other sections of the Jungfernheide Pond! Sparkling Aerial Acrobats Numerous animals find a home in, on, and under the water. One of them is the dragonfly. These creatures are not only beautiful to look at, but can also accomplish amazing feats. They are characterized by an aerodynamically optimized, slender body and a highly efficient flight mechanism. They have two pairs of wings that move independently of each other. They can reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour, change direction in a flash, fly backward, or hover in mid-air like a helicopter. Also noteworthy: The veining of their wings is as unique as a fingerprint – no two individuals have completely identical wings.

On the way to Station 7, you might spot beaver traces. These could be gnawed or even fallen tree trunks, or trees whose trunks have been fenced off to protect them from the beavers' sharp teeth.

The large pond in the Volkspark Jungfernheide constantly receives fresh inflow from the Spandau shipping canal via the Nonnengrabenkanal and releases its water into the lower Spree. The pool was created artificially, the western part serves as an outdoor swimming pool, and swimming is prohibited in the eastern part.

Former Parade Ground and Shooting Range – The park opened in 1926 and was named after the nuns of the old Spandau convent. 100 years earlier, the area was used militarily: Spandau convent. 100 years earlier, the area was used militarily: as a parade ground, shooting range, and starting in 1896 as the location of the first airship battalion. After WWI, military aviation was forbidden, and the hangars were torn down. The park’s construction was financed as part of an emergency employment program. This program led to public parks and recreation areas being opened all over Berlin for the city’s growing population. Jungfernheide Park included athletic fields, playgrounds, a youth camp, a water tower, a beach area, and an open-air theater. The latter site is now home to the Kulturbiergarten.
