With the Land & Leute adventure farm, Oesterwurth offers a specific leisure destination in a region shaped by agriculture. The village is one of the municipalities in the wider Wesselburen area, where intensively cultivated marshland and fields of grain, rapeseed, cabbage, potatoes and sugar beet shape the landscape. When planning your trip, you can therefore treat a visit to the adventure farm and a look at the agricultural surroundings as separate points of interest.

Play and take a break at the adventure farm

The Land & Leute adventure farm is a family amusement park with carousels, play areas and pedal boats. It also has other fairground rides and stalls. The landscaped park area includes quiet spots and small opportunities for discovery; the farm is also home to various animals and offers food and drink. This brings together several different options: rides and play, a stroll through the park area, or a break. Individual attractions may vary by season. Check which activities are currently planned before your visit.

Marshland and routes in the Wesselburen area

Three routes of the Hebbel circular trail run around Wesselburen and can be explored on foot or by bicycle. They range in length from 8 to 11 kilometres. You can compare the routes by distance; check the conditions on site.

The Eider Barrage is also a destination in the wider Wesselburen area. It protects the mouth of the Eider from North Sea storm surges. This offers a different regional focus alongside routes through the marshland: the structure and its role in coastal protection.

More things to explore in the Dithmarschen travel destination

Beyond local attractions, the Dithmarschen travel destination offers more cultural experiences and hands-on activities. The Dithmarschen State Museum in Meldorf takes visitors through 1,200 years of Dithmarschen history, from the wealth of the peasant republic to rural everyday life in the 1960s. At the Dithmarschen Stone Age Park, the programme includes practical activities such as flint knapping, archery, making Stone Age jewellery, fire-making and baking bread. Activities may vary depending on the programme.

Right next to the Stone Age Park, the Stone Age Forest covers around 40 hectares of natural open space. The grounds are permanently free to access and contain nine original archaeological monuments. Check access information before your visit. Those interested in nature and wildlife can find salt marshes home to hundreds of plant and animal species in the Wadden Sea National Park. The national park is considered one of the most bird-rich areas in Europe.

Guided mudflat walks along the Dithmarschen coast are led by local, knowledgeable National Park mudflat guides. At low tide, they reveal the diverse life of the Wadden Sea; tides and available dates vary. The Dithmarschen Cabbage Days offer a completely different regional experience: farmers’ markets, town festivals, and sporting and cultural events take place throughout Dithmarschen. Individual events and dates change. In choosing what to do, keep in mind that culture, hands-on activities, nature and events are different travel interests that you can plan around their respective dates and conditions.
