"Berlin is surrounded by lakes, andthe star of the show is undoubtedly the Wannsee. Its waters lap at the Grunewald Forest and are dotted with yachting clubs and interesting cultural sights such as the House of the Wannsee Conference (where the Nazis planned the Final Solution) and the former villa of impressionist painter Max Liebermann, which exhibits his work and has a lovely garden café overlooking the lake. Nearby is the Pfaueninsel (Peacock Island), a former royal playground that’s now a pleasant park accessible by ferry. The most popular destination in summer, though, is the Strandbad Wannsee, a half-mile-long sandy beach jam-packed with locals and visitors."

The serene views of the water, especially during sunset, are breathtaking and create a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Whether you’re enjoying a peaceful moment on the shore or engaging in activities like badminton by the water, the setting adds so much beauty to the experience. The calm water reflects the changing colors of the sky, creating picturesque moments that feel almost surreal. It’s an excellent spot for both nature lovers and those seeking a quiet escape. The presence of swans gracefully swimming adds a magical touch to the lake’s tranquility. Overall, Großer Wannsee is a must-visit for anyone looking for peace and scenic beauty by the water!

What an amazing View 👏 🤩 The boat is free , I mean if u have Deutschland tickets you don't have to buy any tickets extra . Must try atleast once.

The place is actually very nice and we can have a boat ride using the Deutschland ticket without having any other costs to Alt Kladow and from there we could catch a bus back to city.

ATTENTION: 5 star for the lake and 2 star for the staff. Very unfriendly, unhelpful and ridiculous ticketing policy. We're 2 families with small kids, have booked ticket in advance online. We stay under hot sun for 20 min in the queue. Our tickets slot was from 10-12, we got the chance to scan it about 15 min after 12 because of the queue, not because we were late. And we COULDN'T enter. The staff were rude and didn't help us at all. All they told us is to buy new tickets. So in the end, we had to pay twice. It make no sense to buy ticket online.
