Nikolaiberg as a Stage

Nikolaiberg is a small hill in the market town of Wartenberg, offering a picturesque view over the Strogen valley. The open-air stage is set up every summer and is available in a relaxed atmosphere — with benches, standing room, and the option to bring camping chairs or blankets.
