The “Seeresidenz am
Müggelsee,” Berlin’s most beautiful restaurant on the water, lies adjacent to the last stop of the number 60 tram line, just before the waterworks at Friedrichshagen. The extensive lawn shaded by tall old trees and bordered at one side by a country house directly on the waterfront is more than a terrace or a beer
garden. The guests sit with only a low wall, like the railing of a ship, separating them from the
lake. The water stretches over two kilometres to the Müggelberge
opposite. Bruno Wille, a member of the Friedrichshagen literary circle and sensitive to the natural
world, was reminded of the Ostsee (the Baltic) by the sight of the “Müggel.” There is really no other place in Berlin which gives the guest such an expansive view while eating and
drinking. One leaves it reluctantly even when bad weather is brewing. If
you follow the Müggelseedamm a few hundred metres further, past the
waterworks and a former army training site, you will meet a path from
Friedrichshagen which crosses the road. It leads down to the edge of the
lake and continues for one or two kilometres. It is a delightful sandy
path under oaks and pine, occasionally widening out amongst the sand dunes
and shore, a joy at any time of year for landlubbers longing for the sea. |
