Autumn is the perfect time for excursions: simply escape the hustle and bustle of the city and take in the warm colors of nature. When the leaves fall from the trees and rustle under your feet, the air lets pure freshness flow through your lungs and the morning mist lies almost mystically over the fields, then we know: Our body and mind finally come to rest. There are several spots near Berlin that offer a unique landscape backdrop – including the “Devil’s Bridge”, the “German Venice” or the fascinating Elbe Sandstone Mountains – as well as many other places that invite you to marvel. While excursions are often dedicated to active outdoor pursuits, we also need the right level of comfort to really take in the surroundings. The modern Offgrid cabins in Baruth/Mark in the south of Brandenburg offer the ideal opportunity to do just that – perfect for experiencing a real digital detox.
The modern cabins from Offgrid
South of Berlin – around 1 hour 20 minutes by car or about 2 hours by train – you will find cabins that offer the highest quality in design and comfort. The town of Baruth/Mark in the south of Brandenburg, between the Fläming and Lower Lusatia, is nestled in a picturesque landscape of dense forests and wide fields. It is perfect for hikes, bike tours or relaxing weekend excursions. The cabins “Cabin Max” and “Cabin Johanna” are located right here, in the middle of this natural scenery.
The company Offgrid offers modern cabins and tiny houses as retreats in nature – with a focus on digital detox, mindfulness and slowing down. Their concept combines peace and seclusion with a pleasant proximity to the big city: all Offgrid cabins are located around 1.5 hours from Berlin. This means that this retreat can be easily reached by car or train.
The cabins are furnished down to the last detail and individually designed. Unlike a run-of-the-mill motorhome, which only offers the bare essentials for living, the off-grid cabins – designed by founder Björn Welter, a passionate amateur chef – have a fully equipped kitchen. The two cabins, which are only around 50 meters apart, also boast large panoramic windows through which the tranquillity of nature greets you in the morning. A large fireplace, a hot shower, a comfortable queen-size bed and excellent insulation ensure maximum comfort. Because being in nature at Offgrid doesn’t mean giving up the comforts of home – it means maximizing them. To really find yourself, you can fully enjoy the peace and quiet around you, for example on the beautiful terrace, where a yoga mat and meditation cushion are already at your disposal. Roll them out, take a deep breath and find your Zen moment. Here you can simply do whatever you feel like doing: take a long walk through nature, play board games indoors or simply enjoy your own rhythm and recharge your batteries.
“Cabin Max” and “Cabin Johanna” not only impress with their well thought-out facilities, but also with their location – right next to one of the largest and best-known inline skating regions in Europe: the Fläming Skate. So you can not only go for walks or relax with yoga on the terrace here, but also, if you like, get on the skate trail right next door. On over 230 kilometers of perfectly asphalted paths, far away from traffic, you can choose between different circuits: glide leisurely through forests and villages or really push yourself – the decision is entirely up to you!
You can find even more information about the different cabins, their prices and how to book your next digital detox directly on the official Offgrid website.
