Guided Story

Feel that gentle breeze brushing over the lake? It's like a whisper from the past, telling tales of this reddish-brown lake that dates back to the Ice Age. Look around—the villas surrounding the park hint at a time when this area was a serene retreat for Berlin's elite. Imagine in winter, the lake freezes over, turning this place into a sparkling wonderland. Take a moment to breathe in the fresh air and let your eyes wander across the water. You might spot some ducks paddling around. If you're up for a little stroll, head over to the water tower at Obersee for a fantastic view.
