Lakes and Rivers
Due to ice-age transformation of the landscape the Potsdam region shows a large number of waters. The spine of Potsdam’s water system consists of the river Havel with its so called Havel lakes and the river Nuthe as dominating waters. All in all 10 % of Potsdam’s urban area is taken by surfaces of the water.
