Small place by the lake to relax, with a bench to sit on and a beautiful view.

After extensive renovations a few years ago, the water in this lake is particularly clear. At that time, a sheet pile wall was temporarily used to separate the Kleiner Müggelsee from the Spree, and a 4-meter-thick layer of mud was dredged from the bottom. The R1 runs past Neu Helgoland (a high dune on the southern shore). The high shore with its white beach may have inspired the lake's namesake. Winter swimmers and early risers often have this usually busy, idyllic bathing spot to themselves. Nearby is the famous "Neu Helgoland" restaurant. The restaurant is highly recommended. There are moorings for pleasure boats and a jetty for the White Fleet and the ferry to Rahnsdorf. Closer to the aforementioned bathing spot, there is also a smaller Italian restaurant.
