    Winter activities

Cosiness, culture and authentic experiences

We are convinced that Brandenburg is worth a visit all year round - even in winter! The weather is often mild, which means that cyclists and hikers get their money's worth. There is also time for art, culture and traditions. And, of course, there is also the down-to-earth, hearty food. Brandenburg - away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, full of cosiness and authentic experiences.

Brandenburg is far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life — cozy, authentic, and full of little adventures. Just switch off, immerse yourself, and discover how beautiful wintertime can be here. We are happy to help you plan your visit.
