Discover Radbruch through three different themes: the walking loop starting at the village shop, the cycling route that leads to Radbruch along a well-maintained path, and the Country Festival over the Pentecost weekend. For your planning, the current route of the circular walk and the exact festival date are key.

On foot through Radbruch: Hiking Route 4

“Hiking Route 4” starts at the village shop in the centre of Radbruch and heads north to Rottorfer Straße, at the corner of Hausbach. There it crosses the Rottorfer Bridge and follows the row of fruit trees along Wittorfer Weg back into the village.

The project was still in its early stages when the first group hike took place, so check the current route before setting out.

Cycling on SamBa Tour 1

SamBa Tour 1 continues to Radbruch along a well-maintained path. The cycle route also passes a bicycle rest area that is suitable for a picnic. The practical difference when planning, compared with Hiking Route 4, is clear: one is a loop starting at the village shop in the centre, while the other is a cycling route to Radbruch with a rest area along the way. Check current route and rest-area conditions before setting off.

Country Festival over the Pentecost weekend

A Country Festival takes place in Radbruch over the Pentecost weekend. You can plan the other days of your trip around the actual event date.

The megalithic tombs in Schieringer Forst, between Barskamp and Walmsburg, were built in the Neolithic period between 3000 and 2300 BC. A circular walking trail leads from Walmsburg village square to the tombs. Here, archaeological history and a specific route can be explored together.
