Falkensee

Falkensee in Brandenburg has experienced a real boom in recent years. Located in the idyllic Havelland region just outside Berlin, the green town on Falkenhagener See is a real family paradise with lots of nature, a growing cultural scene and an excellent infrastructure. And the capital is only a stone’s throw away.
Idyll with a city view
Falkensee lies on the city border to Spandau and, with 45,000 inhabitants, it is the largest town in the green and water-rich Havelland region. As part of Berlin’s “Speckgürtel”, Falkensee is a popular, dynamic and rapidly growing as a new development location in the western Berlin suburbs. Accordingly, many new properties for sale and rent have been built here in recent years, in the form of flats, detached and semi-detached houses and town villas. The infrastructure has adapted well to this positive trend: Falkensee offers numerous cultural and sports facilities, schools and kindergartens. A popular excursion destination is the approximately 42-hectare Falkenhagener See, a landscape conservation area with beautiful lakeside paths. But the town is not only attractive for families with its extensive woodland, meadow and water areas. Artists and creative people also find peace and inspiration in the idyllic Havelland, with the proximity to the big city. Falkensee is excellently connected to the centre of Berlin by regional express train. The long-distance train station Berlin-Spandau is only ten minutes away. Falkensee offers the perfect mix for many – also to avoid the tight Berlin property market. This is also reflected in the price trend for flats and houses.
Highlights

Falkenhagener and Neuer See
The “Neue See” and its big brother, the Falkenhagener See, which is right next to it, have been connected by a circular hiking trail for several years. It leads through the Nauen-Brieselang-Krämer landscape conservation area and is a paradise for jogging, hiking or Nordic walking fans. There is a great playground for children and in summer, you can rent a pedal boat from the restaurant “Quo Vadis” at Falkenhagener See and swim in the lake from there. In winter, the lake often freezes and turns into a great ice-skating area.

Bredower Forst with nature trail
The nature trail in Bredower Forst was set up in 1930, the first of its kind. Here, between Falkensee and Brieselang, the local flora and fauna can be explored at 16 stations. Since the forest is home to a very high diversity of native deciduous tree species in a small area, it is considered a particularly interesting place from a botanical point of view. Mushrooms and herbs can also be found here. On foot or as a bicycle tour, a perfect Sunday excursion.

Enjoy Italian classics, tradition and hospitality in a Mediterranean atmosphere at a candle light dinner, a cosy evening with a group of friends or a family meal with a direct view of the Falkensee.
