The Borsig Villa Reiherwerder. A striking symbol of Germany's industrial history. ❗️ In 2000, it was decided that the Federal Foreign Office would use the Reiherwerder estate as the Foreign Service Academy and the large Borsig Villa as the guesthouse of the Federal Foreign Minister. 💡 Open House ❗️ 💁On only one day a year can you immerse yourself in history and take a look behind the scenes; otherwise, the grounds are not open to visitors.

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.

There are relatively few places along the shore where you can swim. The lido on the western shore of the lake charges an entrance fee. It offers bathers a sandy beach, a nudist section with a sunbathing lawn, a bathing island, jetties, a diving platform, and a double slide. Food and drink are also provided. Beach chairs are also available for rent. The gently sloping shore is suitable for small children. A children's playground, volleyball court, and table tennis tables offer sports and games. The lido is also accessible by public transport and is about a 20-minute walk through the forest. The season is from mid-May to mid-September. There is a lifeguard station on the eastern shore near Reiswerder Island.

Unfortunately, it can only be viewed from a distance, as the area is hermetically sealed…

I didn't initially identify the tree as a larch. But good: it is one. However, the tallest tree is elsewhere.
