Robertsdorf offers two distinct reasons to visit: the traditional goat festival, held every two years, and the approximately 70 km “Mill Tour” cycle route, which passes through the village. A farm in Robertsdorf offers two holiday apartments; its guests can also experience everyday life on a modern agricultural farm. This gives you three separate focal points for planning: a recurring event, a cycle route and farm-based accommodation.
Goat Festival: Date and Programme
The traditional goat festival takes place in Robertsdorf every two years. If the festival is an important reason for your trip, check the date for that year with local organisations before travelling. On 14 September 2024, the 16th Goat Festival was also celebrated as Robertsdorf’s 775th anniversary. In the 2024 edition, the traditional parade went from the old petrol station at the entrance to the village, along the main street, to the festival grounds at the other end of the village. At the 2024 Goat Festival, the people of Robertsdorf once again performed a play in Low German. The programme also included a coffee table, game and grilled bratwurst.
For trip planning, distinguish between the regular schedule and the programme for an individual year: the biennial cycle describes how often the festival returns; the route, theatre and food refer to 2024. If these programme items are important to you, check the programme for the edition you plan to attend.
Staying on a Farm
A farm in Robertsdorf offers two holiday apartments. Before booking, check whether an apartment is available for your dates. Guests can experience everyday life on a modern agricultural farm. This insight into farm life is for guests staying at the farm and is part of the accommodation offer. If you are looking for a connection to agriculture, this guest experience may be a factor in choosing your accommodation, alongside availability.
Church and Baroque Organ in Dreveskirchen
There is a church in Dreveskirchen, within the municipality of Blowatz; Dreveskirchen is a different village from Robertsdorf. The church’s Baroque organ was built in 1754 by Rostock organ builder Paul Schmidt. During the summer months, the church is open daily for “Open Church”; check current opening arrangements before your visit. Visits can also be arranged in advance. These are different options for planning your visit: the seasonal daily opening or a pre-arranged visit. The organ’s history offers a specific cultural focus if you are interested in historical instruments or organ building.
On the Mill Tour
The “Mill Tour” is approximately 70 km long and passes through Robertsdorf. Alongside the date-dependent festival, it is another reason to visit, this time with cycling as the main focus. These are different planning considerations: for the festival, the date and the specific edition matter; for the cycle route, your interest in cycling and the approximate distance matter. This can help you decide whether Robertsdorf appeals to you mainly as a festival destination or as a place along the Mill Tour.
