Park Festival in Wiesenburg Castle Park

Wiesenburg Castle Park — Garden Monument in the Hoher Fläming

The Wiesenburg Castle Park is one of the most important garden monuments in Central Germany. Over approximately 100 hectares, an English landscape park was created starting in the 19th century, often mentioned in the same breath as the grand estates of Potsdam-Sanssouci and Dessau-Wörlitz. The castle pond, oak avenues, exotic tree species, sightlines, and the Renaissance castle at its center make the park one of Brandenburg's hidden gems.

Wiesenburg/Mark in the Hoher Fläming

Wiesenburg/Mark is a small municipality in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, located in the Hoher Fläming Nature Park – Brandenburg's highest elevation. The landscape of rolling hills, beech forests, and castle ruins differs significantly from the flat northern Brandenburg and makes Wiesenburg an ideal starting point for hikers and cyclists.

Park Festival 2026 — August 8th

The Park Festival is the largest annual event in the castle park. In 2026, it will take place on Saturday, August 8th, from 2 PM to 6 PM. The park transforms into an open festival ground, combining classic park activities with a family program and live music:

• Boat trips on the castle pond.
• Horseback riding and pony rides for children.
• Stand-up paddling on the pond.
• Archery on designated ranges.
• Arts and crafts stalls around the park.
• Children's program: bouncy castle, face painting, crafts.
• Live music: the JBO Wiesenburg Blasorchester (brass band).
• Laser show in the evening to conclude.

Admission and Catering

Admission is deliberately kept low at around €5 for adults – children are free. Food and drink stands are available on the festival grounds, traditionally offering regional specialties from the Fläming region.

Getting There and Surroundings

Wiesenburg is located about 95 km southwest of Berlin. The RE7 train line runs directly from Berlin-Wannsee to Wiesenburg/Mark station, from where it's a 15-minute walk to the castle park. Those arriving by car can use the A9 (Berlin–Munich) or A2 (Berlin–Hanover) motorways, exiting at Dessau-Süd. Recommendation: combine your park visit with a hike in the Hoher Fläming Nature Park or a tour to the nearby Burg Eisenhardt in Bad Belzig.
