Airfield review of Berlin Bienenfarm near Nauen EDOI

We were going to see Julian's sister Clare who lives near Jungfernheide station, so decided to drop in to Bienenfarm.  Bienenfarm is a very friendly airfield, quite close to the station Paulinenaue and they kept offering to drive us to the station so even without bikes getting into town would not have been a problem.

the airstrip is the long green strip across the centre of the photo

Trains go once an hour, take 35mins to get to Berlin's western main station, Jungfernheide and cost €5 if a ticket sales person comes past to sell you a ticket (the station does not have a machine).

The onsite restaurant is very good and prices are very reasonable (schnitzel €7.40, bratwurst with potato salad €6) and the bratkartoffel (fried potatos) that came with the schnitzel are really the best I've had in Germany.

There is a wide range of activities available from the airfield, from all the usual air based recreations through to canoeing, cycling and beach volleyball, so it could be a good destination even if you didn't want to go into Berlin.

The only downside that I can see is that fuel is really very expensive, so it is worthwhile fuelling elsewhere.

Costs for a 700kg aircraft €7 per landing, €3.50 overnight.  Airstrip 850m grass.
