December is just a few days away – and we can feel the big festive season drawing ever closer. Winter in Berlin is playing its part in getting us deeper into the Christmas spirit every day. From classic Christmas markets to highlights such as the Winter Wonderland in Tierpark, mulled wine at the former TXL airport and winter party boats on the Spree: there really is everything here to make Christmas hearts beat faster. For all those who like to be active during this time and want to balance the Christmas treats with some exercise, the city also has a lot to offer. At DARK MATTER, you can glide through an illuminated fairytale forest on a 400 m² ice rink and completely immerse yourself in another world. Need a little more competition?
Then you shouldn’t miss out on curling on real ice.
Warm up by the fire, a hot mulled wine or punch in your hand and play a round at the same time – it couldn’t be more perfect. You can get your money’s worth with family, friends or colleagues at curling at the Café am Neuen See in Tiergarten – on real ice. And because everything is all about winter and the upcoming festivities, the traditional goose dinner afterwards is of course a must.
Real ice cream sounds authentic – but what makes this real ice rink really special? No plastic is used here: plastic rinks have been tested, but they don’t slide properly and simply don’t feel like real ice. Sustainability also plays a major role, as the electricity required comes entirely from renewable sources. And finally, tradition also counts: real cold, real ice, real experience – no artificial frills. Just as it should be for the best celebration of the year.
In the middle of the Tiergarten, in the Café am Neuen See, you can experience real winter fun on six weatherproof real ice rinks. All rinks are covered and can be played on in any weather – and they are freshly prepared after each booking.
Precision, team spirit and a real Berlin winter feeling come together here and make curling the perfect experience – whether with work colleagues, friends or family. And because a good round of curling is known to make you hungry, you can combine your visit with a meal in the cozy alpine hut or the rustic barn – and enjoy a festive goose there. The winter market with mulled wine and homemade cookies also provides an extra dose of coziness.
