We live in hotels near Inner Alster Lake. Every day we go out, will go through this is known as the Pearl of the Inner Alster Lake. Sunny day, the central fountain spewing nonstop from morning to night, with the wind scattered tracts of mist on the lake, in the sunshine, a little flash into a rainbow. Rainy day, there will be old steam cruise ship sailing, while wheezes forward, while spewing out clouds of mist in the rain and fog, the vicissitudes of the building set off the shore, people think back to a century ago.




Tips
1. Alster Lake, sunny, rain, night, each with their own style, but still fine when the most beautiful lake view.
2. Alster Lake: It has inner and outer Alster Lake. Between bridge of inner and outer Alster Lake, with Kennedybrucke and Lombardsbrucke is a good place to watch the panorama of Hamburg.
3. If you like the lake waterfowl, can carry bread to be fed; but the best bit more bread, you are not to eat the swan catch up, that's not what warm memories.
