A Tranquil Maisonette with a Generous Terrace Set Between Kleiner Wannsee and Pohlesee

"Who doesn't know the Wannsee, has overslept the city." Cheeky, but true. Even the journey itself is the destination: the picturesque riverside promenade along the Havelchaussee is a true nature experience. The path leads directly to the district of Wannsee, named after the largest of the Havel lakes. Pure holiday vibes: sailboats glide elegantly through the water, while chic motor yachts compete for attention. Book a boat tour on a historical excursion steamer and prepare to be amazed. With a round trip across the seven Havel lakes towards Potsdam, you are right in the middle of a World Heritage site. And if you aren't already fired up for this magnificent landscape, the annual fireworks spectacle on the lake will surely ignite your passion.

Summer in the city means: "Pack your swimming trunks!" Or your bikini, and then head off to the Strandbad Wannsee. It is the Berliners' private Mediterranean and, incidentally, the largest inland lido in Europe. With 300 beach chairs, boat rentals, beach volleyball, and a 1.2-kilometer long sandy beach, there is enough space for an incredible 50,000 bathers. For the hardy Berliners, the season starts as early as Easter with water temperatures of 8 degrees. Wimps wait until Pentecost. But no matter whether you only dip your big toe in the water or watch the hustle and bustle while enjoying a "Schnipo" (schnitzel and fries), you’ll become a real Berliner here in no time.

The Wannsee is a "Lido for everyone": people swim, sail, and surf here. Whether it's a picnic by the lake or white tablecloths on the Wannsee Terraces: the view is always intoxicating and makes you forget that you are actually living in a metropolis of (nearly) four million people.
