ice skating
In winter, Lake Weissensee transforms into Europe's largest prepared natural ice rink – with approx. 6.5 km² of ice.
Whether you fancy a leisurely lap of the 25 km ice rink around the lake, a few laps of the 400-metre sprint track or simply a relaxed glide along the ice.
As soon as the eastern part of Lake Weissensee is frozen over, you can easily reach the natural ice rink via our private beach – put on your ice skates and glide away!
We provide additional winter fun ourselves: with our own ice resurfacer, we prepare a curling rink, a ice hockey rink and a shuttle service to the large ice rink at Lake Weissensee. Weather permitting.
