Overview

It spans 3.52 kilometres (2.19 mi) in a northwest–southeast direction, widens to 1.45 kilometres (0.90 mi) in the southeast from just 180 metres (590 ft) at its narrowest point. The lake is part of a federal waterway and one point where the Sacrow–Paretz Canal connects to the Havel. Until 1990, there was a border crossing for ships on the lake, at the end of the canal.

On the lake's southern end at the outflow of the Havel is the Glienicke Bridge, also known as the Bridge of Spies. Besides that, other sights around the Jungfernsee include Cecilienhof to the southwest, the Heilandskirche in Sacrow to the north and the park and palace of Glienicke, southeast again. The former royal Dairy in the New Garden also lies on the shore of the lake and is today a restaurant and brewery.

In 1999, the south shore was added to the Palaces and Parks of Potsdam and Berlin World Heritage Site.[1]

[de] Jungfernsee

Der Jungfernsee ist ein glazial entstandener Becken- und Rinnensee. Er wird heute von der Havel durchflossen und gehört daher zu den Berlin-Potsdamer Havelgewässern. Er erstreckt sich über 3,52 Kilometer von Südost (Glienicker Brücke) nach Nordwest (Großes Horn) und liegt damit quer zur natürlichen Fließrichtung der Havel in der Havelseenkette. Der größte Teil seiner Wasserfläche ist Potsdamer Stadtgebiet. Nur ein kleines Dreieck vor seinem Südostufer gehört zu Berlin.
