Events for the weekend of March 25-27

 Spring, the sweet spring

You must have noticed the spring temperatures outside, enticing you to go for a walk. For example, there are already a few cherry buds in the various cherry blossom trails in Berlin. Apart from the suggestions for hiking trails in Berlin, there are a few other places to go: 

  • The Spring Fair is a small funfair in the Zentraler Festplatz on Kurt Schumacher Damm. The fair is open on Wednesdays and Sundays (not just at the weekend, in case you are hosting tourists or are on holiday) and admission is free (the rides of course charge an entrance fee - there are discounts on Wednesdays). The fair ends on April 24th. Arrival: Bus 127 to  Kurt-Schumacher-Damm 207 13405 Berlin

  • The Düppel Museum, dedicated to restoring medieval life in the tiny villages that now make up Berlin, works to promote spring as it did in the Middle Ages: with a " Winter Expulsion Festival " this weekend
