🇩🇪Hanami in Hamburg — Cherry Blossom Magic by Alster Lake

#cherryblossom25 Hamburg, Germany | Alster Lake Cherry Blossoms Every spring, Hamburg’s Alster Lake transforms into a romantic floral dream as rows of cherry blossoms bloom along its serene waterfront. With the calm lake mirroring the soft pink petals and swans gliding past, it’s easily one of northern Germany’s most picturesque hanami spots. 🌸 Why Visit? The cherry trees lining Binnenalster (Inner Alster) and Außenalster (Outer Alster) offer a beautiful contrast to the urban skyline and lakeside promenades. When the petals start to fall, the surface of the water becomes speckled with pink — like nature’s confetti! 📍 Key Spots to Catch the Blossoms: • Alsterufer promenade • Japanese Cherry Blossom Tree Trail near Kennedybrücke • Alsterpark (great for a picnic!) 📅 Best Time to Visit: Late March to mid-April, depending on the weather — keep an eye out for the local “Kirschblütenfest” (Cherry Blossom Festival), which celebrates the blossoms with cultural performances and fireworks (dates vary each year). 🚇 How to Get There: • Take the U-Bahn to Jungfernstieg or Stephansplatz, then walk towards the lake.
