Dive into the ice-cold, schnapps-infused, and surprisingly profound world of Oldenburg's Winter Obsession. This tour is not an ordinary food tour, but an insight into the cabbage ride – a regional ritual in which a humble winter vegetable shapes social hierarchies, drives political lobbying, and turns forests into playgrounds. Discover how a survival food from the 19th century became the beating heart of the identity of an entire city.
