Starry nights

With wonderful sunsets on the lake

Mark Brandenburg is characterized by extensive natural landscapes, which are only populated with small villages. This is the best prerequisite for a glowing starry sky.

On the fantastic lakeside terrace of our Villa Contessa Restaurant, with a little luck, you can first enjoy a wonderful sunset and then the best view of the starry sky over the majestic Scharmützelsee. The clear view of the endless expanses of the sparkling starry sky is fascinating and sublime at the same time. A true natural spectacle.
