I have warm childhood memories of going berry picking with my parents and the opportunity to pick your own fruit is fun for any child. Berlin and Brandenburg offer a selection of places to visit to hand- pick (selbstpflücken) your own strawberries, apples, pears, plums, cherries, raspberries, blueberries etc and I've listed them here on Berlin for all the Family. Make sure to read the 'more info' sections under each listing to find out more about where to find out which fruits are in season when before you go...
