Spreewald Craftsmen and Farmers Market

Farmers from the region enable the purchase of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables for the kitchen and pantry. At the market stalls, you can find freshly baked farmhouse bread, sweet honey, linseed oil, and fragrant herbs, among other things. The beauty of this market is that it not only offers finished products for sale but also provides insights into centuries-old techniques and crafts that are often almost forgotten. You can watch the weaver at the loom, as well as the traditional costume embroiderers at work. Potters, trough makers, and thatchers demonstrate how their products are made. You can learn how linseed oil is produced or how ropes were once made. The processing of flax, the binding of a harvest crown, and the packing of a hayloft (Saturday from 2 PM) are also worth seeing. A colorful supporting program presents traditions, costumes, dances, and music. On Saturday, dancing and celebrating can continue into the night.
