(15 km) Visit to Berlin's Island Paradise with Swimming breaks.

Playful hike #75

A donation of 2 euro in cash is required at the start of the event. This is uniquely to cover the 6 month Meetup fee that keeps the group alive, then we stop. Also, we limit it to maximum 6 euro per person for that period so contributions are more evenly distributed. Thank you for the support :)

🌞 Sun, see, sand, and Schmöckwitz! Whilst it might not roll off the tongue, Schmöckwitzwerder is Berlin’s own lesser-known island paradise, and we’re ready to explore it!

With Saturday’s weather looking fabulous, why not join us for a fun and laid-back hike around the island?

Where else can you lounge on the beach in Berlin state and cross into Brandenburg’s waters with just one splash? We’ll be taking our time, with plenty of swim breaks to cool off in the Zeuthener See and soak up the rays along the Dahme River. 🌊

Nature lovers, bring your binoculars! You might spot herons, kingfishers, or even white-tailed eagles soaring above. 🐦🦅

And guess what? Schmöckwitz is home to Berlin’s southernmost point! The island is sprinkled with charming old villas and cute boathouses. Maybe pack your favorite games—whether it’s frisbee, möllky, viking chess or a deck of cards, it’s the perfect place to relax and play. 🏖️🏡
Join us for a day of fun in the sun!

The Game Plan: Route on Komoot

We’ll meet up at Alt Schmöckwitz in BVG’s ZONE B tram stop at 10:37am.
From there, we’ll stroll around the island at a chill pace, making sure to enjoy every moment. We’re more about the swim-and-chill vibes than power hiking, so expect to splash around in at least two spots and take it easy.

I can’t promise any coffee stops, food, or bathrooms along the way, so pack whatever you need to stay comfy maybe a picnic —think swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, and maybe a hat for that extra sunny day.

Start

Meet at Alt Schmöckwitz tram stop at 10:37 am. I am taking the S8 from Ostkreuz to Grünau. I’m aiming to take this one and I’ll be at the front carriage of the Sbahn.

Sbahn
09:48 - departure S Ostkreuz Bhf , Platform 11 with S8 to S Grünau
10:10 - arrival S Grünau

Tram (Tram stop just across the road from main station)
10:23 - departure S Grünau with 68 to Alt-Schmöckwitz

I’ll share my Live Location in the Telegram group so any latecomers can find us.

End

We’ll wrap things up back at Alt Schmöckwitz, but the time is open-ended. If we’re up for more fun, we might hop on one of the last BVG ferries to Müggelberge.
