Staying at the Estate
The estate in Lühburg includes a moat, a park with old lime trees, holiday apartments, and visitor-oriented event and group activities. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, its connection with the estate grounds is a notable point of reference: the accommodation is part of the complex, which also includes the park and moat. If you are considering Lühburg as a place to stay, take this connection into account when making your choice. Accommodation and facilities may change; therefore, check in advance whether the holiday apartment you want, or an event or group activity that is relevant to you, is available on your dates.
The Estate and Lake Duckwitz
Nearby Lake Duckwitz offers opportunities for swimming and fishing. Access to the water and local conditions may change seasonally. So take the time of year into account when planning your trip and check the conditions before your visit. This gives you two different priorities to choose between when planning your days: the estate brings together accommodation, a park and a moat; at the lake, swimming and fishing take centre stage. You can weigh up whether you prefer the estate as your accommodation and base, or whether the opportunities by the water will have a greater influence on your travel plans.
Culture in the wider destination of Walkendorf
The wider destination of Walkendorf has its own points of cultural and historical interest. The Richard Wossidlo House in Walkendorf is a museum dedicated to the folklorist Richard Wossidlo. It is housed in a rural workers’ cottage built around 1875. Wossidlo was born in Friedrichshof, a district of the municipality of Walkendorf, and baptised in the local church. The museum, building and biography form a distinct cultural and historical focus in Walkendorf, different from Lühburg’s profile, which centres on accommodation, the park and the moat.
Another architectural feature in Walkendorf is the Alte Ausspanne, a listed, lovingly restored half-timbered house with a thatched roof. The 4,600-square-metre meadow garden at the Alte Ausspanne has benches, areas for relaxing, a spiral herb garden and a pond. In summer, the café at the Alte Ausspanne is shaded by an old lime tree behind the building. In Lühburg, old lime trees stand in the estate park; in Walkendorf, a lime tree shades the café at the Alte Ausspanne in summer.
The Alte Ausspanne also has the extendable “Sommergalerie” club room, which hosts special art and cultural exhibitions. Individual exhibitions may change. Visitors can also take part in creative courses at the Alte Ausspanne; if a course is important to your trip, ask in advance about current dates. Walkendorf therefore offers a variety of cultural themes: the life of Richard Wossidlo and the art and cultural activities at the Alte Ausspanne.
