Along the lakeside promenade to Potsdam city center (from the Kongresshotel Potsdam)

The Potsdam Congress Hotel is located directly on the lakeside promenade. A stroll towards the city center leads past the elegant bandstand, built in the Roaring Twenties. Directly opposite is the former regatta house. It served as a popular destination for visitors to the newly constructed regatta course and for swimmers at the nearby public baths. What began as a land and water sports center is now an Olympic training center and a flagship sports venue far beyond Potsdam. Following the Havel River, the path continues along the water to the steam engine house. Due to its oriental architectural style, it is also known as the Mosque of Potsdam. From here, the path leads into the city center.

Duration: 1 hour
Distance: 4 km
Destination: Congress Hotel Potsdam
Destination: Steam engine house on the Neustadt Havel bay

Tip: A stroll from the congress hotel towards Geltow offers a particularly good view of the vastness of the Havel River and its lakes. The path leads along the lakeside promenade past rowers, small boat harbors, and old trees – with plenty of quiet spots to pause and reflect.
