Everyone loves the lake, but in winter it's just too freezing cold. So the only chance to dip in is to heat up first. The Sauna cabins are built with windows at the top, and the view warms your heart while your body starts sweating. There's reading material and wool blankets available, and the place feels like far away from the bustling city life.

In-between a lounge and a bar, Milch Bar is a cozy, little place near the lake which I love to visit all year. During the weekends a DJ lubes the sociality of the bar goers with some techno music. Entry is completely free and drinks are more than reasonably cheap.

I used to live very close by and called it my "village" because you can get everything you need here: all kinds of shops and services, a gym, dentist, restaurants, hotel, cinema, daycare, club even a "church" (prayer room open to all faiths). There are also seasonal activities on the square like a beach bar in Summer or a fondue hut in Winter.
