Rafts in the historic moat

 Castle Dankwarderode

An attractive and popular meeting point is Castle Dankwarderode’s historic moat, with its roofed wooden rafts. Lighting effects on a glittering bed of glass make the moat behind the castle seem to sparkle with the ghost of water now long gone. Set at a little distance from the busy hubbub of the market, the rafts offer enough room for groups to enjoy their hot drinks together and experience a quieter side of the Braunschweig Christmas Market.
