Strandbad Grunewald (Hundekehlsee)

A charming, lesser-known lido tucked into the Grunewald forest beside the small Hundekehlsee lake, offering a genuine escape from the city without the Wannsee crowds. The sandy beach, calm water, and forest backdrop make it a favorite among locals who want a relaxed, unpretentious swim. Facilities are modest but functional, with a kiosk and changing rooms. It can get busy on hot weekends, so arrive early for a good spot.
