Beach at Flughafensee — Attraction in Berlin

Flughafensee is a hidden gem nestled in Berlin's Reinickendorf district, offering a serene escape from the city's hustle. Formed from a former gravel quarry, this tranquil lake is surrounded by lush woodlands, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation and nature appreciation. The lake's clear waters and sandy shores make it an ideal spot for swimming and sunbathing. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks or jogs along the lakeside paths, taking in the scenic beauty and diverse birdlife. The Aussichtsbrücke, a charming bridge near the lake, offers picturesque views, especially during sunrise and sunset, making it a favorite among photographers and nature enthusiasts. Access to Flughafensee is convenient via public transport, with the U6 line to Holzhauser Straße or the X33 bus to Sterkrader Straße, followed by a short walk through the forest. While the lake is generally peaceful, it's advisable to visit during weekdays or early mornings to avoid crowds, especially in the summer months. Whether you're seeking a quiet spot to unwind, a place to swim, or simply wish to immerse yourself in nature, Flughafensee offers a refreshing retreat...

Beautiful landscape, not too far from city center (15min walk from U6 Holzhauser Str.), for this reason it's crowded. Free entry. There's a public toilet within the forest, no place to buy food or drinks, so bring your own. Sometimes there's someone selling beer and drinks. Even when crowded, you can find a spot in the sand.

Some disadvantages (aka stupid people): lots of trash (cigar, bottle cap, pieces of glass in the sand), loud music boxes competing at the same time, dogs barking and some of them in the water. There are some signs of what's is not allowed there but people don't care. Police goes sometimes but it's like nothing. If you're looking for silence, peace and a relaxed place, this is not the one - at least in a busy weekend.

I'd recommend to stay on top of the dune. Nice view, not crowded, more quiet, FKK and a quick walk from the lake.

Worth a visit but I believe it's not going to become your favorite lake due to the things...

Beautiful beach which close to the old airport Tegel, that's also why the lake called Flughafensee. But don't worry, the water is actually really clean, and you can often spot some wild lives here as well. There are a couple of areas along the beach, a friendly area for everyone and a FKK area. The beach is free to visit.

I visited here with my friends at the weekend, it was less people than I expected. I really enjoyed...
