AuenalsterThe Auenalster (meaning "outer Alster") is one of two artificial lakes within the city limits of Hamburg, Germany, which are formed by the river Alster (the other being the Binnenalster). The size of the Auenalster is 1.6 km2. The phrase "outer" refers to the old city walls of Hamburg. The Auenalster was the part of the lake that was "outside" the city walls. Today the old city walls do not exist, instead two car and train bridges, the Lombardbrcke and the Kennedybrcke, span the river. The Auenalster is used by the inhabitants of Hamburg for recreational purposes such as sailing and rowing. Almost all banks of the Auenalster are public. The banks vary from a small strip of green to large public parks (e.g. the Alstervorland). It is very popular to jog around the lake (approx. 7 km).
