Discover Radegast

Radegast offers many different ways to explore: the Fuhne Cycle Route passes the stud farm and the market square, protected landscapes border the town, and information boards and distinctive buildings tell its story. You can shape your stay around what interests you most, whether that is nature, a specific route or the town’s cultural heritage.

Along the Fuhne Cycle Route and at its stops

The Fuhne Cycle Route passes the stud farm and Radegast’s market square. At or near the route, you will also find a peace oak dating from 1871, a cemetery garden with carved wooden sculptures, a playground with a drinking-water fountain and a community park. If you are travelling with children, there is also a playground with a drinking-water fountain along or near the route. The different stops invite you to look beyond the route itself and notice what lies along the way.

Another place to pause is the 4,500 m² cemetery park. A local community project transformed an overgrown, almost inaccessible part of the cemetery into the park. It offers both a tangible example of how the grounds were redeveloped and a place to take a break. The cemetery park and the cemetery garden with its wooden sculptures are distinct features of the area.

Protected landscapes and local history

Radegast borders the “Cösitzer Teich” nature reserve to the southeast and the “Fuhneaue” landscape conservation area to the south. These names help you identify the protected landscapes bordering the town.

You can also discover the town’s history as you walk through the centre: white information boards on house walls tell passers-by and tourists about the history of individual buildings and how they have changed over time. For anyone who enjoys pausing by individual houses and tracing changes over the years, they offer a close-up look at Radegast’s architectural history.

Church and medal striking

The Evangelical Church of Anhalt describes the church in Radegast as a neo-Romanesque brick church built in 1875. Its west tower, dating from 1752, was retained from the previous church. Three windows by glass artist Thomas Kuzio in the apse and choir glow in rich, deep amber tones. The building brings together several periods: the older tower, the 19th-century church and the colourful interior design.

The Radegast counterfeiting workshop offers another cultural experience and is a stop on the Fuhne Cycle Route. Visitors can watch medals being struck on a historic hand-operated screw press. Visits are possible by prior arrangement only. The Radegast local history museum is located at Marktplatz 1, 06369 Südliches Anhalt OT Radegast, and is classified as a “Museum / Gallery”. This information can help you include local history and cultural attractions in your travel plans.
