Autumn Holidays in Berlin

Are you also "stuck" in Berlin during the autumn holidays, without the possibility of flying without bothering with isolations and the like? Some ideas (that can be used even if you are currently reading the post from Mallorca) 

(1) Travel to Linum to see the storks. The storks and cranes come in large quantities to the Linumer Teiche, because the pools in the area provide the birds with food and a comfortable environment. It is not so easy to get to Linum without a car (RE6 to Kremmen station and then bus 758), but it is only an hour by car.

Conservation  Organization  NABU,
which also owns a "station" in Linum

(2) Scare yourself in "Karls". Yes, Halloween is around the corner. Of course, I will publish for Halloween, but in the meantime, " Karl " (from the strawberries) is already preparing a spooky programme Halloween . Of course you can also carve pumpkins there (arrival: by Strawberriy Bus or by regional train to the town of Elstal and from there bus 686)

(3) Go to a museum or exhibition! Beyond the "regular" candidates ( Berlin Museum of Nature , Berlin Museum of Technology, Museum of Computer Games , Children's Museum of the Jewish Museum or various museums for children like Mach Mit) there are also rotating exhibitions worth visiting, such as the Street Art Exhibition located in an abandoned casino in Nolendorf -Place; The exhibition Dark Matters in Bromelsburg and more. 

(4) Climb and jump - in trampoline halls (Jump House), in bouldering halls, or in an indoor rope hall, such as the BergWerk in Hellersdorf (near Hellersdorf station) 

(5) go swimming - the indoor pools are back, including those with slides like Schonberg's Hans Rosenthal Pool; And of course indoor "water parks" like the Tropical Islands, the TURM in Oranienburg and more. 

Roll into an artificial tropical landscape

(6) And almost last - I collected quite a few possible camps, I guess in most places are few (if any), but if you need help, because there is no Hort and you have no freedom, let's try to consult. Among other things, the Janusz Korczak House in the Nikolai district offers a creative day camp during the second week of the holiday (details in the photo) 

Adults only ...

Coincidentally there are several events this week that are definitely interesting and definitely do not involve the whole family: 

• The Berlin International Burlesque Festival enters its eighth year this weekend. The program, due to the corona, is narrower than usual ( details )

And in a sharp transition: 

• Friday - Workshop on "Jewish Resistance: Yesterday and Today" (in German, details )

• First - 
• New Year's (Jewish, I mean) concert with Mimi Sheffer, in Potsdam (details) 

• Also: Online discussion entitled " Confronting Antisemitism: Activating Archives, Libraries, & Museums "

• And if you are looking for ~ Hebrew lessons for girlfriends ~ or spouses - "Zuzman" offers regular Hebrew lessons for adults, in addition to the number of Hebrew classes for children in Berlin that they have started to offer.
