Holiday Park Brandenburg - A holiday in Brandenburg is also a holiday in particularly scenic surroundings. With no less than 15 natural reservations fully equipped with guides and visitor centres, this state takes great care of its recreational value. At the same time, there are good possibilities for excursions to Berlin.
Holiday Park Brandenburg - The recreational environment also includes the river Oder to the east (which forms the border to Poland); the river Elbe that flows along the state’s western border; and the rivers Spree and Havel that flow through the country. Besides the joy of watching the sun rays reflect in the water, the rivers also provide good opportunities for angling, swimming, diving, and other water sports. The same goes for the 3,000 plus lakes that you can access from one of the many holiday rentals in Brandenburg.
Holiday Park Brandenburg - The state’s capital is Potsdam. Here you will find many of the palaces that were built by former Prussian kings long ago. The most famous of them is Frederik the Great (1712-1786), who built a smaller summer palace called Sanssouci in this town. A beautiful palace park and several more palaces built by his successors, make up an area that is sometimes considered a German counterpart to Versailles.
Holiday Park Brandenburg - In the hills to the north-east of Berlin, a canal connects Oder and Havel – but to make up the 36-metre difference in elevation, the ships have to sail into the gigantic Niederfinow ship-elevator. The trip takes no more than 5 minutes, and this fascinating experience is certainly worth the journey. You also do not need to remain on land; from the nearby town of Eberswalde, you can board a passenger ship which sails through the elevator.
Holiday Park Brandenburg - In the centre of Brandenburg one can find the German capital Berlin, which is an independent state. One of the town’s greatest attractions is Brandenburger Tor, which for many years has been a symbol of the division of the city. However, it was opened at the end of 1989 when the beautiful town centre was once again allowed to merge together. Just a few minutes walk from the city gate, the river Spree flows lazily through Berlin, and on its banks is the impressive Reichstag building.
