Orangefest in Oranienburg - orange is the colour

Each year Oranienburg celebrates the Orangefest remembering where the city got its name from. It was because of Countess Luise Henriette of Orange-Nassau. Oranienburg also has got a castle because of this Countess likes this place so much.




So, to this day we are enjoying ourselves in early spring when everything comes back to life. In the court yard of the castle will be a market with little stalls selling hand made and home made products just like in the old days.




Adjacent to the castle is a huge garden which attracts many locals and tourists because of its beauty and relaxing atmosphere. Every year a lot of effort is put into planting hundreds and thousands of flowers according to the season.




Countless events are also held in the garden of the castle each year ranging from symphonies, concerts, flower expos and other highlights for adults as well as kids. There is just so much to chose from all year round, something for every one.




Anyway, today we are just walking around enjoying the awesome spring weather with lots of sunshine, hanging around, lying in the gras, gazing around and looking at the beautiful flowers everywhere and have some delicious food on the go. I guess summer is just around the corner, can't wait….bring it on!
