Lake Mühlenbecker

The southern shore of the Mühlenbecker See can be easily reached from the Dammsmühle hiking parking lot. Very close by is the castle of the same name, located directly on the «little brother» of the lake, the Mühlenbecker Teich.

Dammsmühle Castle

Highlight • Castle

At the site of today's Dammsmühle Palace, there was already a mill in the 16th century, acquired in 1755 by the Berlin leather manufacturer Peter Friedrich Damm. He erected the building of the Dammsmühle Palace as a two-storey palace.
After the end of the war in 1945, the castle was occupied by the Red Army. In 1959 the East German Stasi took over the house and used it as a hunting lodge until 1989. After reunification, the castle served as a hotel for a short time.
Unfortunately, today it is a ruin with an uncertain future

Ruins of the ballroom at the Mühlenteich

You can hardly see it anymore. But here the dance hall in oriental style is said to have stood on the mill pond.

View of Mühlenbecker See

Highlight • Viewpoint

We now walk past the marshland, the green of the trees beautiful, and a short distance further on we reach Lake Mühlenbeck.

A tree stump, like a small island in the lake, accessible by stepping over the water, offers us a wonderful view of the lake.
We savor the moment.

The smell along the path is sometimes strong and earthy, while the shoreline is sometimes swampy and muddy, and we spot tadpoles among the shoreline plants.

Mühlenbecker Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Mühlenbecker See is a somewhat hidden but beautiful forest lake. It is particularly used by locals looking for a quiet place to relax. Especially in summer it is a good alternative to the mostly overcrowded bathing lakes in the Berlin area. Wonderfully quiet and another real insider tip! Shhh!
