A waterway steeped in history.
Berlin has always been supplied by water. As early as the 17th century, the rivers were used as waterways and connected with canals. This created a transport network of supra-regional importance for the transport of goods and raw materials. During the Berlin Airlift in 1948/1949, the Havel was not only a waterway, but also Berlin's longest runway. To relieve the pressure on the airports, Allied seaplanes landed here. They were preferably loaded with salt because of their corrosion resistance. To this day, federal waterways such as the Havel are an essential part of the transport system. In addition to transporting goods, they are mainly used for sports and leisure boating.

Kuhhorn Bathing Spot

Highlight • Beach

Also called cyclist meadow, although there is no grass anywhere. But there are lots of bikes, you can't get there by car and it's quite a long walk. A great swimming area on the Havel with a fairly large sandy beach. The water is pleasantly sandy. Every now and then you get some really nice waves when a leisure captain thunders along the Havel in his Bayliner. The bathers are a diverse mix, sometimes with clothes, sometimes without.

View of the Havel in Grunewald

Highlight • Viewpoint

A dream to cool off at temperatures that are almost unbearable in the city. If you like, you can experience a wonderful sunset atmosphere here. The bank no longer exists.

Lieper Bucht Beach

Highlight • Beach

Is great for a little picnic trip during the bike round. Highly recommended for romantics at sunset! Dreamlike color games on the water surface. ;)

August 3, 2025,ab Lindwerder B 218 bis Rest Schildhorn

Today we walked from Lindwerder (bus 218) to Restaurant Schildhorn (which no longer exists), partly along the Havelhöhenweg.
There were many beautiful views of the Havel River.
