One of the town's most striking features is the Straussee, a beautiful lake located right on the outskirts of the city. A 35-minute walk takes you to the ferry stop "Jenseits des Sees." There's plenty of space for a delicious picnic and a beautiful view of the town of Strausberg.

Our tip: After your picnic, take the ferry across the Straussee

On this tour, you can relax by the lake with your picnic, enjoy the sun and the green nature, and discover many small, hidden coves. The crystal-clear Straussee invites you to linger and swim – the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Our tip: Take a crossing on the Straussee ferry. It's not only a landmark of Strausberg but also a listed building and the last overhead line ferry in Germany.

The Lakeside Burghotel in Strausberg is a charming oasis of peace and relaxation on the shores of Lake Straussee.

The hotel's own restaurant provides culinary delights, offering a fine selection of regional and international dishes. The cozy atmosphere invites you to linger and makes every visit a culinary experience. The picnic basket is also a true feast for the palate.

On the southern shore of Lake Straussee lies the Strausberg ferry landing, a place where history, technology, and nature converge in a unique way. From here, the Straussee ferry departs – the only electrically powered ferry in Europe. Since 1894, it has connected the two shores of the lake and remains a vibrant part of everyday culture. Whether a stroll along the lakeshore, a bike tour through the verdant surrounding countryside, or a visit to the town center: here, the day begins with a crossing that promises peace and tranquility.
