Tips & Advice

  • Bring cash with you, because Hanff's Ruh does not accept credit or debit card payments at the venue.
  • Leave the car at the Waldparkplatz on Rabindranath-Tagore-Straße and allow time for the roughly 300-metre walk along the forest path to Hanff's Ruh.
  • Without a car, take the S8 or S46 to Grünau and then Tram 68 towards Alt-Schmöckwitz as far as the Regattatribünen stop.
  • Bring younger children to the Schreberjugend craft stand, which is set up for the market's smallest guests to make something of their own.
  • If you want a table in the Hanff's Ruh restaurant, reserve in person or by phone, because table reservations are not accepted any other way.
