Swimming Spot at the Southern Tip

Highlight • Beach

Located directly on the circular hiking trail and the 66 lakes trail, there is a lot going on here, especially on weekends and when the weather is nice. If you like that, you will certainly have fun.

Lake Straussee

Highlight • Lake

Idyllic lake in Barnim, which is well worth circling. On one side there is Strausberg Stadt (it is also worth a stroll) and on the other side forest. In addition to a swimming pool (on the city side), there are also free swimming spots on the lake. Those who cannot complete a complete circuit can also use the ferry, which is located approximately in the middle of the lake.

From Berlin you can reach the Straussee with the S-Bahn line 5 towards Strausberg Nord to the Strausberg Stadt station.

Straussee Cable Ferry

Highlight • Bridge

The small ferry, ideal for hikers and cyclists, connects Strausberg with the recreational areas of forest and lakes on the western side of Lake Straussee. The route west from the ferry takes us to the path between Fängersee and Bötzsee. The ferry is probably the only electric cable ferry in Europe and, like a trolleybus, draws its power from a catenary wire stretched across the lake.

Everywhere on the bank there are pretty benches and resting places with a view over the lake.

Swimming area at Straussee

Highlight • Beach

No matter the season, this swimming spot is always worth a visit. On my last visit in October, I left my swimsuit at home. But my dog enjoyed having my undivided attention all the more. A truly idyllic spot on Lake Straussee!

Straussee Loop Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The excursion to the Straussee is well worth it. Whether with the family and prams or with friends and beer. On the Uferweg you can see the most diverse visitors, who all obviously have a good time. From the outdoor pool to the diving school to the relaxed sunbathing area with a fine sandy shore, everything is here.

Straussee

Highlight • Lake

The Straussee is a glacial channel lake. It is still 3.8 km long and up to 340 m wide. The water level has been falling continuously since 2014. Even the outdoor swimming pool on the city side had to be closed because of this. A citizens' initiative is trying to find measures to stop the decline in water levels.
