I discovered Arkenberger last year, thanks to my friends Bonito and Bruno. It has everything I could wish for – lakes to swim in, sand to dig, grass to roll on and some big sticks!
A short drive away in Pankow is a dogs delight. Located in the Barnim Nature Park is the Arkenberger Baggersee, the largest of 2 artifical lakes, and the Hundeauslaufgebiet Arkenberge. Perfect for those early Sunday morning strolls before all the sunbathers arrive!
As soon as the car door opened, I jumped out and within 2 seconds I ran down the path and vanished . I knew exactly where I was going!
I have no idea why I was being called back – this was heaven on a hot day. No-one was sunbathing yet, so why were my Humans so worried?
After a splash around I decided to run back to them and start the walk – bringing something with me …
We had parked next to the Recyclinghof and from here we walked along the lake and by Arkenberger hill – the landfill site. Rather than go towards the 2nd smaller lake we wandered towards the Hundeauslaufgebeit, enjoying the countryside.

I’m waiting 
Come on – this way
This was all very nice, but I was dying to get back to my favourite pastime – swimming! So I was sneaky and turned onto another path which took us back to the Baggersee.
Playtime 
Swim time
So many beaches, just keep up with me!
Another beach 
Another swim 
Another stick
This is a great place for us furry friends, but I do advise to go early in the morning.
Warning : Big chance you will be put in the shower when you get home
