Camping on the donkey paddock
The Alte Forsthaus stands in the middle of the forest of the Briesetal, in the Naturpark Barnim near Oranienburg, roughly 25 kilometers from Berlin. Visitors park their cars two kilometers away and walk the rest of the way. There's no other option. Camping takes place directly on the Eselkoppel, with a maximum of three tents. In the morning you wake up to the sound of birdsong, sometimes a rooster. On weekends, the imbiss cooks homemade food for hikers and cyclists. You can rent the donkeys by the hour for a walk.1

Sights in the area1
Barnim Nature Park
The nature park around the Briese valley is criss-crossed by hiking and cycling trails; arriving without a car, you have them right outside the tent.
Oranienburg Palace
The baroque palace in Oranienburg with its park by the Havel; a solid afternoon when the weather is too poor for camping.
Berlin
The capital lies about 25 kilometres away; from the Brandenburg Gate to the Wall cycle path, a single day is barely enough.
