The park is situated on land that previously functioned as part of the Soviet 'Döberitz' airfield.
It hosts an annual ice sculpture exhibition, 'Eiswelt,' which maintains a constant sub-zero temperature year-round.
The location features a museum housing a record-breaking collection of over 27,000 coffee pots.
The onsite jam production facility utilizes traditional copper kettles to maintain consistency with the company's historical methods.
The park utilizes an 'open-door' design where entry to the grounds and many play areas is free, with fees only for specific rides and attractions.
Karls Erlebnis-Dorf in Elstal is a family-oriented leisure park themed around strawberries and rural life, located on the site of the former Soviet military airfield in the Döberitzer Heide. The park features a mix of indoor and outdoor attractions, including the world's largest collection of coffee pots and a dedicated indoor playground. A central component is the glass-walled strawberry jam manufactory where visitors can observe the production process. The site includes the 'Eiswelt' (Ice World), a refrigerated exhibition space featuring large-scale ice sculptures that change annually. Several mechanical rides, such as the tractor track and the strawberry-themed drop tower, cater to younger children. The onsite market sells a vast array of strawberry-infused products and regional specialty foods. The grounds incorporate an extensive animal enclosure and multiple playgrounds designed for diverse age groups. It serves as a flagship destination for the Karls brand, which operates several similar parks throughout Germany. The location is integrated into the surrounding nature reserve, allowing for combined visits to the local flora and fauna trails.
