About
Waldhotel Am See Berlin-Schmoeckwitz
Waldhotel Am See sits on the southern edge of Berlin, about 1.4 km from Zeuthener See lake. It’s a 3-star property that leans on its natural setting rather than fussy extras — guest rooms are simple and clean, many with lake views or balconies, and the large garden is the real draw.
Days here move at an outdoorsy pace: hire a bike, head out on a hiking trail, or try canoeing and fishing in the warmer months. When you’re back, the restaurant and bar cover meals, and the terrace is a good spot to watch the sunset over the water.
