About the Fangrot boat hire
Covering around 450 hectares, Tegeler See in Reinickendorf is not only one of Berlin’s largest lakes – it is also home to a total of seven islands. How fitting, then, that the family-run boat hire company Fangrot offers very special boat tours focusing on the history of these islands right here.
Quiet, emission-free and informative: discover the seven islands of Lake Tegel
But it’s not just the island stories that are special: although the saloon boat “Heidelberg” boasts a beautiful, traditional design, it is powered by an innovative electric motor – quiet and emission-free. This means you can listen undisturbed to the tour guides’ fascinating stories about the secrets of the seven islands and the natural surroundings during the trip.
