Overview

Situated on the edge of Grunewald forest, Schlachtensee is one of Berlin's most idyllic lakes. Within easy reach of the city centre (20 minutes train ride), the lake has crystal clear water which is perfect for swimming. The lawns and woodlands which surround the lake are wonderful for relaxing or having a picnic. An outdoor restaurant and snack bar offer a choice of refreshments, and there is also boat hire. A great place to spend a hot summer weekend! For more information, please contact the Berlin Tourism Board at the phone number listed above.
