Beelitz-Tour - Along the Asparagus Road

This tour combines active leisure with culture and culinary delights. A warm welcome – to the town that represents a top class culinary product like no other in Brandenburg. Beelitz asparagus has traditionally been grown for over 150 years and draws innumerable day-trippers to the state in spring and summer to relax and enjoy themselves. But Beelitz has much more to offer: After the asparagus harvest come the strawberry and blueberry harvests, and in autumn the pumpkins are in great demand. Eggs, pasta and many other delicacies from Beelitz have long made a name for themselves and - like all our products - stand for regionality, freshness and taste. The restaurants in the town, the districts and of course on the farms themselves prepare and refine these products to make delicious dishes according to traditional recipes or newer, more modern cuisine. On this tour, you will get to know the tasty side of Beelitz. Culinary delights, nature and joie de vivre combine to create a very special experience that will remain with you for a long time. So in this spirit: Come for the taste.
