The Alster is a serene oasis in the heart of Hamburg, featuring picturesque lakes surrounded by lush greenery and charming promenades. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks, cycling, or even a boat ride, immersing themselves in the tranquility and beauty of the area.

The Alster is a non-tidal, slow-flowing and in some places, seemingly untouched idyll of nature, in other places tamed and landscaped urban space. In the city center, the river forms two lakes, both prominent features in Hamburg's cityscape.
