The Jakobs Tour - from Beelitz to Schäpe - A journey of discovery through asparagus country

This tour combines active leisure with culture and culinary delights. From year to year, the asparagus region around Beelitz continues to develop. The Jakobs brothers and their team are proud to be part of this adventure. The farms are more and more beautiful, regional culture is blossoming in its creative diversity, businesses in the region are growing and expanding, each in their own direction and yet together. The high quality of the asparagus and respect for the natural surroundings, without which none of this would be possible, are particularly close to the farmers’ hearts. The Jakobs Tour is a small journey of discovery through this region and takes you to places that define Beelitz’s rural culture and are also popular outside the asparagus season.
