Potsdam Sanssouci Music Festival
Spend the night in a bee wagon in June 2026
The musical highlight
The Potsdam Sanssouci Music Festival will take place between 12 and 28 June 2026. To give you a little taste of what to expect, here is a review of the 2025 Music Festival: There was thunderous applause at the open-air ‘Italian Night’ at the Alter Markt, as well as at the two opera productions, ‘Orlando generoso’ by Agostino Steffani with Dorothee Oberlinger and the Ensemble 1700, and ‘Didone abbandonata’ by Baldassare Galuppi under Ulises Illán with the Ensemble Nereydas.
The 2026 programme will follow. We will inform you as soon as individual concerts are announced.
Discover Brandenburg: Heidesee, donkey farm & bee wagon, Potsdam Sanssouci
Your hideaway is a lovingly converted bee wagon on a farm in Heidesee OT Streganz, surrounded by meadows, donkeys and lakes.
A real feeling of nature, without WiFi or television, but with plenty of space to switch off and relax. Inside, it is small, cosy and practical:
a compact kitchenette with cooking utensils, even spices, coffee and tea are provided. Books about bees, donkeys and nature are available, as well as outdoor blankets for the evenings outside the door.
Donkey experience as a Music Travel Hideaways Special
We will reserve either a donkey hike or a donkey cuddle session for you directly at the donkey farm.
The tour starts at the farm. Each donkey has its own pack saddle, in which you can stow your own picnic and drinks.
After a short briefing, you will get to know ‘your’ donkey, brush and halter it, and then set off on a relaxed walk along quiet forest and meadow paths. Alternatively, you can enjoy a lovely cuddle session with plenty of time for stroking, brushing and observing.
We will coordinate the date and schedule with your host Nicole and tailor everything to your concert schedule.
Dogs are welcome, by the way.
