Jungfernsee

Jungfernsee is a glacially formed basin and tunnel valley lake. Today, it is part of the flowing course of the River Havel. The lake stretches 3.52 kilometers from northwest to southeast, lying crosswise to the Havel’s natural flow direction within the row of Havel lakes.

The shoreline of Jungfernsee is characterized by extensive reed beds and is considered largely natural in appearance. Situated directly on its banks is the Meierei (Dairy) in the Neuer Garten park, while Schlosspark Sacrow (Sacrow Palace Park) lies on the opposite shore.
