Karls Erlebnis-Dorf in Zirkow is a rural-themed amusement park on the island of Rügen centered around a large indoor farmers' market. The venue features a strawberry-themed aesthetic reflective of the Karls brand history. Visitors can tour an onsite glass-enclosed strawberry jam factory to observe the production process. The grounds include numerous outdoor playgrounds, a tractor track, and a petting zoo with farm animals.
