Discover Robertsdorf

Robertsdorf can be explored through two very different themes: the traditional Goat Festival and its local history, and a cycling tour that passes through the village. The municipality of Blowatz also offers cultural and historical points of interest, as well as holiday apartments on a farm in Robertsdorf, where guests can experience everyday life on a modern farm. This gives you a sense of how festival culture, cycling and a farm stay fit together.

The Goat Festival and local history

An account of the 2024 edition says that the traditional Goat Festival in Robertsdorf is held every two years. If you are planning to travel for the festival, check the local announcement for your intended date in advance. The 16th Goat Festival took place on 14 September 2024 and was also celebrated as Robertsdorf’s 775th anniversary. The two numbers refer to different things: the festival edition and the village anniversary.

At the 2024 edition, the traditional festival procession went from the old petrol station at the entrance to the village, along the main street, to the festival field at the other end of the village. The route may change for future editions. At the same festival, Robertsdorf residents once again performed a play in Low German. The 2024 festival fare included coffee and cake, game and grilled bratwurst.

Church and cycling tour in the municipality of Blowatz

Robertsdorf is one of the localities belonging to the Evangelical Lutheran Dreveskirchen parish in the district of Northwest Mecklenburg. The church in Dreveskirchen is in another locality within the municipality of Blowatz, not in Robertsdorf itself. It houses a Baroque organ built in 1754 by Rostock organ builder Paul Schmidt.

During the summer months, the church is open daily as an “Open Church”; check before visiting to see whether access is currently possible. Visits can be arranged by prior agreement. The organ offers a tangible historical connection, while visiting opportunities are seasonal or require prior arrangements.

The approximately 70-kilometre-long “Mill Tour” cycling route passes through Robertsdorf. So, alongside the festival, there is a specific cycling option to consider when planning your trip. The approximate route length and its passage through the village are separate points of reference: the length helps you see how the tour fits your plans, while the place name ties it to Robertsdorf.

The Goat Festival and the Mill Tour call for different kinds of planning: for the festival, the date of the particular edition matters; for the cycling tour, it is the approximate distance of around 70 kilometres. Check the local announcement for the festival; for the cycling tour, you can decide whether this distance suits your plans.

Holiday apartments on a farm

A farm in Robertsdorf offers two holiday apartments. Guests can experience everyday life on a modern farm. This opportunity is available to guests staying at the farm, giving the accommodation a direct connection to life on the farm. If you are considering one of the holiday apartments, check current availability before making plans. That way, you can factor both the accommodation and your interest in farm life into your decision.
