20 January 2024
Sunday is a day off? Not at the Grüne Woche! Today, our 1,400 exhibitors from Germany and around the world are once again welcoming visitors.

Lithuania will entice visitors with hearty meat and dark bread, the Czech Republic will surprise them with insect snacks between bratwurst and beer and Latvia will be bringing midsummer cheese and fish. Estonia lets visitors try strawberry roses and Poland offers mushroom powder, bigos and kielbasa. Read more
Gin meets Stollen

This is shown by an example from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. An experimental bakery and a gin distillery have jointly created a stollen that guests can sample at the trade fair. Read more
