Hints for alternative accommodation and restaurants:

Erkner is a suburb between forests and lakes at the borderline to Berlin with limited capacities for accommodation and restaurants (see www.erkner.de, see table). There are only three small pensions in Erkner at walking distance of about 15 minutes to “Education Centre Erkner” (pensions “Schützenhaus”, “Vogelsang” and “Sonnenschein”) and some holiday flats. One hotel is in a distance of 4 km at Erkner-Hohenbinde (“Waldhotel Erkner”).

Other alternatives are accessible only by car in a distance < 10 km at the surroundings of Erkner (Grünheide, Gosen-Neuzittau, Fangschleuse) and in direction to Berlin City (by urban railway S3, regional train RE1 or car). Beautiful urban districts of Berlin in the shortest distance to Erkner along the line of the urban railway S3 are Rahnsdorf (6 min.), Friedrichshagen (11 min.) and Köpenick (15 min.). To station Alexanderplatz in Berlin City it takes you 37 min. Low cost accommodation for students at youth hostels is only available in Berlin City.
