Freischwimmer

Kreuzberg


In fine weather, few places are more idyllic than this rustic 1930s boathouse turned canal-side chill zone. The menu runs from meat and fish cooked on a lava-rock grill to crisp salads, Flammkuchen (Alsatian pizza) and seasonal specials. It’s also a popular Sunday brunch spot (€12.90).
