Medieval spectacles, Sorbian-style Easter egg workshops, atmospheric Easter bonfires, pretty Easter markets: if you know where, Brandenburg has a lot to offer at Easter! These 10 excursion destinations around Easter in Brandenburg are really worthwhile.
Pickles or Easter eggs – what comes to mind first when you think of the Spreewald? And would you expect some of the best Easter excursions in Brandenburg to lead to castles? Amazing! Because everyone has seen artistically painted Sorbian Easter eggs and yet very few people associate them with Brandenburg. Brandenburg is actually the land of magnificent Prussian palaces such as Sans Soucci and Rheinsdorf Palace and is not known for its castles. All the better that we can discover a new, lesser-known side of Brandenburg at Easter!
At Easter, some of you have four days off, nature awakens outside (depending on when Easter is this year) and the time is perfect for Easter excursions in Brandenburg. Grab your loved ones, set off with or without children to the most beautiful regional Easter markets, medieval knight spectacles or take a workshop in Sorbian Easter egg painting and drive out the winter with fudelstriepen, rattling and an Easter fire! Or take an Easter walk in one of the most beautiful spots in Brandenburg and meet some Easter bunnies! These 10 ideas for Easter excursions in Brandenburg are guaranteed to make for a fun-filled Easter!
At the end of the article, after my 10 absolute highlights, I’ll give you a few more tips for Easter excursions in Brandenburg!
