The arts and crafts market in mid-September, the annual arteFakt olive oil collection days and the free Apple Tree Trail offer three specific focal points for a stay in Wilstedt: two events and a route around the town. You can plan your visit around an event date or combine it with an activity that can be explored on foot or by bicycle.

Arts and Crafts and Olive Oil

The arts and crafts market takes place annually in mid-September at the Brink. Around 25 professional artists and craftspeople display and sell work made in their own studios. If you are travelling to Wilstedt for the market, check the specific event date in advance.

At the annual arteFakt olive oil collection days in Wilstedt, visitors can taste and compare olive oils. Olive oil producers are invited to Wilstedt to speak with visitors in person. This makes the focus different from that of the market: here, tasting, comparing and talking with the producers take centre stage. Check the current dates and details of the collection days before your trip.

A Route Around Wilstedt

The Wilstedt Apple Tree Trail starts at the Heimathaus at Bahnhofsplatz 1 and forms an approximately 11.8-kilometre loop around Wilstedt. The trail is a public amenity for local residents and visitors; it can be explored on foot or by bicycle, free of charge. In spring, the apple trees along the trail are a beautiful sight when in bloom. The starting point, distance and circular route provide a clear framework for planning your day.

Outdoor Pool and Event

The heated Heidebad is in Wilstedt, near the campsite and local sports facilities. The Samtgemeinde Tarmstedt offers it as an outdoor swimming pool for residents and visitors during the warmer months. Check the current opening hours before planning a swim. The Wilstedter Abendlauf also influences the choice of travel dates: it is considered a major annual event, with several thousand runners. If you are planning your trip specifically around the race, check the current date.
