Brandenburg, the state that surrounds Berlin, has it all: pine and beech forests, moors, vast river valleys with rolling meadows and pasture land, and over 3,000 lakes. The state has many protected areas of unspoiled natural beauty and offers a wide range of attractions that make it a first-class region for ecotourism. Brandenburg is home to a variety of rare animals, including white-tailed eagles, ospreys, beavers, and kingfishers, and it also provides ideal habitats for white storks and cranes. Our multi-day-tours present the biosphere reserves Schorfheide Chorin (~ 65 km from Berlin) and Elbe-Brandenburg River Landscape (~ 150 km), as well as the High Fläming Nature Park (~ 75 km). The visitor centres are the gateways to the various large conservation areas.
