Kamel reiten auf dem Kamelhof Nassenheide

In the heart of Löwenberger Land, just a stone's throw north of Berlin, lies the Nassenheide Camel Farm — where Brandenburg's expansive views meet real desert animals. Those who go camel riding here exchange city noise for a gentle sway between two humps.

Camel Riding near Berlin: What makes Nassenheide Camel Farm a fun activity?

You don’t necessarily have to go camel riding in Egypt. The Nassenheide Camel Farm is located north of Berlin and can be reached from the city limits in about 20 minutes. If you arrive by train, take the regional express towards Stralsund to Oranienburg, then take the bus to Liebenthal, and from the Nassenheide stop, it’s just a ten-minute walk to the farm. The Löwenberger Land is anything but unknown: Oranienburg with its castle is right around the corner.

At the camel farm, visitors can expect a program that appeals to all senses: touching, petting, asking questions, brushing, smelling, cuddling, leading, and as a highlight, a short ride. The camels are brought from the pasture, individually led, brushed, and cuddled. Those who want more than a short ride are also in luck: some programs offer rides of up to 90 minutes. The handlers know everything about the animals and patiently answer every question. The calm serenity of the camels quickly transfers to any stressed city dweller.

Who would benefit from a trip to Nassenheide Camel Farm?

The offerings are individually tailored to the respective guests and are therefore suitable for everyone: especially for animal-loving adults, families, children’s birthdays, and people with disabilities. The most popular offer is the “Camel Experience Hour”. During the “Camel Experience Hour”, a maximum of four people can accompany a camel through nature for one hour — brushing is, of course, included.

There are also suitable formats for groups and school classes. For children’s groups, there is an approximately 90-minute program for 12.50 Euros per child, focusing on petting, leading, touching, and marveling. Additionally, there are experiential educational programs for kindergartens and school classes outside of holidays. The experience hour can also be given as a voucher — so if you have a birthday coming up and are out of gift ideas, this would be one. Since the farm deliberately wants to remain small and personal, the team operates without fixed opening hours, instead working with individual appointments that take place at 14:00 during the summer half-year and at 13:00 in winter. So it’s best to register in advance.
