Vacation Rentals in Brandenburg

In search of peace and relaxation you will find what you are looking for, especially in the north of Brandenburg. In the Ruppiner Land as well as in Barnim northeast of Berlin and in the Uckermark there are numerous cosy holiday accommodations. Peaceful villages such as Rheinsberg, Lychen or Liebenwalde in Havelland offer ideal conditions for nature lovers and holidays with dogs due to their location in the middle of the countryside. Alternatively, you can move into a vacation rental on the Heid lakes in the south of Brandenburg or on the middle course of the Havel.

If you are planning a cultural holiday, then an apartment or vacation rental in Brandenburg's state capital Potsdam is the ideal starting point for exploring sights such as Sanssouci Palace, the Nikolai Church or the world-famous Russian House. Other very popular holiday resorts with urban flair are Brandenburg an der Havel, where you will find numerous idyllic lake houses near the centre, as well as Frankfurt an der Oder and Cottbus in Lower Lusatia.

If you are interested in history and culture, you can experience a lot in Brandenburg. From the castles of Cecilienhof and Babelsberg to the Cistercian monasteries of Chorin and Lehnin to historical memorials such as the Sachsenhausen Museum in Oranienburg, a broad spectrum is offered. There are also monumental fortresses from the Middle Ages such as the Eisenhardt and Rabenstein castles, as well as interesting exhibitions on various themes. Highlights include the Dieselkraftwerk art museum in Cottbus and a visit to the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam.

As far as the state of Brandenburg is concerned, so too are the opportunities available to active holidaymakers on the spot. While hikers are drawn to the European long-distance hiking trail E11 and the 66 lakes hiking trail, friends of the wet element spend their holidays by canoe in the Spreewald, with the yacht on the Mecklenburg Lake District on the border to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern or on the banks of the Havel, where they can pull carp, tench and bream out of the water in peace and quiet. In addition, cyclists can look forward to a first-class network of cycle paths that connects 21 long-distance cycle routes and 13 regional cycle routes over a length of around 7,000 kilometres. A stage trip on the European Cycle Route R1 from Wittenberg through Berlin and Märkische Schweiz to Poland is particularly recommended.

Brandenburg is one of the places in Germany that are blessed with the highest number of hours of sunshine on an annual average. As an average of up to 8 hours of sunshine per day are already tempting in the month of May, a holiday apartment in Brandenburg is ideal for a Whitsun holiday. The main season between June and August is just as sunny, when the thermometer often even breaks the 30 degree mark and invites you to swim in the water. A secret tip for nature lovers are the months of September and October, when you can explore Brandenburg's unique floodplain landscape in peace and quiet.

Among the event highlights known far beyond the borders of Brandenburg are the Elsterwerda Spring Festival in April and the Flower Festival in Werder, which has taken place since 1879 and, with over 500,000 visitors per year, is one of the largest folk festivals in Germany. We continue with the Moienmarkt in Schlieben on the first Monday of July, the Rothsteiner Felsenfest and the Finsterwalder Sängerfest in August, which was first documented in 1593. In addition, there are the Potsdam International Film Festival and the student film festival Sehnsüchte in spring, which has been established for over 60 years.
