Family holidays in Brandenburg

Anyone who has children knows that holidays should not just provide relaxation, but also stimulation. For this reason, families are in the best hands in the Brandenburg countryside. Nature trails give lessons in natural history under the open sky, meadows and forests are big playgrounds in the fresh air – and turn the young holidaymakers into passionate scouts. Zoos and game parks everywhere in the state also arrest the attention of the inquisitive offspring. The NaturParkHaus information centre at “Stechlin-Ruppiner Land“ Nature Park at Menz entices with special offers of adventure: here, while playing games of exploration, children can make fantastic trips through the Mark Brandenburg natural landscape, such as learning how to distinguish the sounds of birds or discovering wood with their own hands through play.

Stressed parents will gain the astonishing experience that child-care and relaxation can harmonise without difficulty. Because there is an abundance of offers suitable for children, which also prevent adults from being bored. A visit to Babelsberg Film Park in Potsdam, for instance, leads into the world of film in an entertaining way. Stunt shows, animal training, exhibitions and the viewing of costumes are on the programme here every day. At zoos, leisure parks and adventure playgrounds, toddlers find distraction that is suitable for children. A holiday, completely spent on the farm, for instance, with the morning inspection of geese and cows, ought to fascinate the offspring with a lasting effect and keep the family in harmony.
