Tips from the Community
Sand as far as the eye can see. Fine, light, slightly dusty sand that lifts in the wind and settles between the spokes. The bicycles are scattered across the water, as if someone had dumped a giant game of Mikado over the Havel. Those who land here aren't there by chance. It's far on foot, impossible by car – the place belongs to those who cycle or hike their way there. And then it lies there, this strip between water and forest. A large, wonderfully unfinished beach, where the Havel sometimes appears tame, then rough again, depending on the mood of the boats. When a recreational boater thunders past in his Bayliner, the water laps up to the ceiling of the picnic blanket, bringing a certain sense of fairness into the game – even the sun loungers should get some exercise. The people here are as mixed as the light through the trees: with clothes, without clothes, with Bluetooth speakers, without anything. Some read, others talk, most are silent. Perhaps because they know that in a place like this, you don't need to say much. It's enough to be there. Between trees and sand, between water and wind. And that's a lot.

One of many points on the banks of the Havel. Always a beautiful view.

“Into the cool water!” that’s the thought that comes right next to the Jürgenlanke, “What fun that will be.”

The presumably ship restaurant used to operate as an Elbe ferry in Hamburg and was called Godeffroy. http://www.alte-liebe-berlin.de/ In addition to food and drink, there is a great view of the water at this location.

At the foot of the stairs and at the end of the northern section of the Havelweg there is a small bathing area. This is one of two open areas on the Jürgenlanke.

The monument, erected in 1845, commemorates the Wendish prince Jaczo, who is said to have swum across the Havel at this spot while fleeing from Albert the Bear. On reaching the safe bank, he is said to have hung his shield and sword on a tree and vowed to be baptized. https://www.berlin.de/ba-charlottenburg-wilmersdorf/ueber-den-bezirk/kultur-und-wissenschaft/skulpturen-und-denkmale/artikel.155640.php The monument now stands on a hill on the Schildhorn peninsula and encourages people to take the many stairs on the west side or the long climb coming from the south.
