The Woltersdorf lock was put into operation in 1892 and connects the Dämeritzsee with the Flakensee. It is part of the historic waterway between Berlin and the Scharmützelsee and is now a listed historical monument. The surrounding area is characterized by its historical significance in engineering and offers opportunities for recreation close to nature. A worthwhile stop for anyone who wants to enjoy fascinating hydraulic engineering in a tranquil landscape while taking in the view.

For over 100 years, Woltersdorf has been a popular destination for recreation and a short break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The harmonious blend of nature and urban living creates an atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. A small-town neighborhood just outside Berlin, its picturesque location between the Klaksee and Flakensee lakes combines charming shops, cafés, and restaurants along the Woltersdorf lock with beautiful hiking trails and unspoiled nature.

The easy 6 km half-day hike "Around the Lake with Two Trams" on the eastern outskirts of Berlin combines nature, history, and public transport. Between Rüdersdorf and the Woltersdorf lock, the route follows a section of the 66 Lakes Trail and offers views of Kalksee and Flakensee, historical filming locations, and swimming spots.

Discover the culinary paradise right on the picturesque Flakensee. The first-class cuisine spoils you with a varied selection of regional and seasonal specialties, prepared from fresh ingredients. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the water in an inviting atmosphere - the perfect place for unforgettable moments.

Especially at weekends, you can expect a rich breakfast buffet that leaves nothing to be desired. Whether for a romantic dinner, a social gathering with friends or a leisurely start to the day - the Flakensee terraces are always a good choice!

Public transport: Take the S3 to Rahnsdorf, then tram 87 to the final stop, Schleuse Woltersdorf. From there it's just a short walk across the lock and onto the beach promenade to your favorite viewpoint.

By car: After taking the Rüdersdorf/Woltersdorf exit, follow Rüdersdorfer Straße and turn onto Schleusenstraße at the intersection. Parking is available in Woltersdorf.
