Berlin's Town Beaches
Since seven years there are, following the examples of Northern France, town beaches in Germany, often artificially filled in the urban sites, often close to rivers or canals. The first German town beach, more used to drink than to take a bath, happened in Berlin. Now there are more than twenty – still waiting for the summer to come.
