Itinerary

Starting location:

Yachthafen Schmöckwitz

Köpernick Old Town

We cruise along the old town of Köpenick, one of the oldest inhabited areas of Berlin. From the water, you can see Köpenick Palace and the historic buildings surrounding Luisenhain Park. The area is known for its long history and is considered the origin of Köpenick. From the boat, the old town reveals its quieter, lesser-known side.

Müggelsee

The tour continues past Lake Müggelsee, Berlin's largest lake. Here, the landscape opens up considerably, giving you a real sense of the vastness of southeast Berlin. Depending on the weather, Lake Müggelsee is either calm or has gentle waves – typical of open water. Fun fact: Lake Müggelsee has an area of approximately 7.4 km².

New Venice

In the final part of the tour, we'll travel through New Venice. The area is characterized by numerous narrow, branching waterways and small bridges. It gets its name from the canal's resemblance to Venice. Here, life is noticeably quieter and more relaxed than on the large lakes. Fun fact: New Venice was artificially created in the early 20th century by digging waterways to make the area habitable.

Oberbaumbrücke

The Oberbaum Bridge connects Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg across the Spree River and is one of Berlin's most famous landmarks. With its striking red brick architecture and towers, it looks almost like a fairytale castle above the water. The bridge is open to cars, pedestrians, and cyclists – walks across the Oberbaum Bridge offer particularly stunning views of the Spree and the Berlin skyline. In the evenings, it is atmospherically illuminated, creating a truly special ambiance. Fun fact: The Oberbaum Bridge formerly served as a border crossing between East and West Berlin and is now a popular photo subject and meeting place for locals and tourists alike.
