Tegeler Fließ, Natural stream in northern Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany.
Tegeler Fließ is a natural waterway stretching roughly 30 kilometers from Basdorf through Berlin's Reinickendorf district, eventually flowing into Lake Tegel and the Havel river system. The stream passes through a network of wetlands and protected nature areas that connect several neighborhoods.
During the German Democratic Republic period, sections of the waterway marked the border between East and West Berlin, influencing how the surrounding areas developed. This role shaped the landscape for decades and changed how people moved through the region.
The stream shapes several neighborhoods where farmers from Lübars maintain their farming traditions and preserve rural life within the city limits. Visitors notice how these green spaces guide the rhythm of daily life in these areas.
Visitors can explore the stream through walking paths and nature trails that pass through several protected areas and provide good access throughout the region. The paths connect different entry points, allowing visitors to choose their route based on their interests.
The stream supports eleven of Berlin's thirteen documented amphibian and reptile species within its diverse wetland habitats. Visitors often spot frogs, salamanders, and water creatures, especially in areas with thick vegetation.
