The favorite viewpoint is located on the western side of Lake Straussee, a place that has always been called "Beyond the Lake." The hilltop was already a popular destination for walks in the 19th century and still offers a sweeping panoramic view across the lake to the old town of Strausberg. A small shelter provides a place to rest.

A worthwhile detour for anyone who wants to combine water and the old town skyline. A ferry ride across the Straussee even allows you to combine this favorite view with the favorite view at the ferry landing!

The over 780-year-old town of Strausberg, just outside Berlin, invites you to experience nature with its extensive mixed forests and clear waters. Whether hiking or cycling, with 3.150 hectares of forest and 300 hectares of water, it offers ideal conditions for active recreation. Enjoy the breathtaking panorama of the city, discover the charming old town and be inspired by the special cultural highlights.

The shores of Lake Straussee are almost entirely open to the public, offering fascinating views of the old town. Twelve information panels provide insights into the area's history and present-day life. Natural bathing areas, sunbathing lawns, and a boat rental for hot summer days are also located along the 9 km hiking trail.

Treat your palate to Italian ice cream in our café bar or enjoy fresh sushi in our sushi club. The café also offers private rooms for up to 30 people.

Public transport: The S5 suburban train line takes you directly from the heart of Berlin to Strausberg in just 45 minutes. From there, it's a 10-minute walk through the town to the ferry terminal, which will take you to the other side of the lake to your favorite viewpoint.

By car: You can reach the district of Jenseits des Sees via the bypass. Immediately after entering the village, turn into Amselweg, where you can park your car. Then walk down to the lake and from there it's about a 5-minute walk to your favorite viewpoint.
