‘Flussbad Berlin’ is an urban development project that seeks to transform a section of the Spree Canal in the heart of Berlin into a clean and accessible body of water for the general public to use in new and exciting ways. The non-profit Flussbad Berlin Asscociation is responsible for promoting and further developing the project on a 1.8 kilometre stretch of the Spree Canal, along Museum Island and between Fischerinsel and Bode Museum. The project involves a park landscape, an extensive natural plant filter and an 840-metre natural bathing area. A largely unused body of water, officially designated as a federal waterway, will be “taken back” by the residents of Berlin, and will become a public, non-commercial recreational site for inhabitants and visitors alike.
Our guided tours give an overview of the day-to-day challenges the project is handling, and the impact it might have on our society. The walks through the project area (1.8 km long) highlight historical facts of the development of Berlin, as well as offering more about the vision of Flussbad Berlin.
