Rafts in the Burggraben (castle moat)

The roofed rafts have established themselves as a very popular meeting place. They are located in the historic moat of Dankwarderode castle, in which there is no longer water, but whose form traces the original course of the Oker river.

Enjoy the food and drink of the Braunschweig Christmas Market in this special atmosphere with a view of the castle and the Rathaus (town hall). 

Set somewhat apart from the market action, the rafts also offer space for larger groups to enjoy a convivial get-together and experience a slightly different side of the Christmas Market. Each raft offers standing room for around 20 people. Seating is not available.

All rafts are fundamentally available for free use during the opening hours until 2:00 pm. After 2:00 p.m., they can be booked for a fee. Around 20 people can be comfortably accommodated on each raft. The raft "Heinrich" is furthermore available for general use during the entire opening time. 

Further information and the booking portal can be found on the German website.
