Tips from the Community
The dam is actually a headland that connects the land with a bridge at the western end. It is well maintained and has many benches (some of which are covered). It is simply lovely to stroll between the lakes. Cyclists, runners, walkers, everyone can get through.

The circuit is about 2 km. It started at the easternmost tip and went along the headland between Falkenhagener See and Neuer See to the small bridge that connects this headland to the land. You could take a break here, as there are toilet facilities, coffee, ice cream and a playground. Then it continues east again along the southern bank. While there are signs everywhere prohibiting swimming, there is a sandy bathing area at the end of the path.

the New Lake was created in 1938/39 by the then S-Bahn construction to fill in the railway embankment. The actual Falkenhagener See is right next to it with a size of 42 hectares.

Incredible section for running, cycling, walking, whatever :-). The section separates the Falkenhagener lake and the new lake and is incredibly idyllic. Also many benches to relax and enjoy can be found there.

If you want to circle the Falkenhagener lake, you come to a distance of ca.5km. Right next to it is the New Lake with a landscaped swimming area. It is much smaller and artificially created. Separated by the small dam, nice to walk around with a view of both lakes at the same time.
