Quick Summary

The Aussenalster is the northern, larger section of a lake formed by damming the Alster River in Hamburg, Germany. This lake is divided into the Binnenalster (Inner Alster) and the Aussenalster (Outer Alster) by fortifications built in the 17th century. The Aussenalster is surrounded by upscale neighborhoods and is fed by numerous waterways navigable by pleasure boats. The Alster River itself is a tributary of the Elbe River, flowing south for about 30 miles before reaching Hamburg.12
