Futterkamp: Building Exhibition, Hochborre and Adventure Garden

Futterkamp combines agricultural technology with history and garden experiences. The building and energy exhibition focuses on agricultural construction and energy technology; Hochborre is a fortified medieval settlement. Visitors can learn about Futterkamp’s Slavic past on a guided cycling tour led by an expert. Filippos Adventure Garden adds a horticultural dimension to these themes. The area therefore offers several distinct points of interest for a stay.

Agricultural Construction and Energy Technology

The building and energy exhibition displays exhibits from around 230 companies across more than 3,500 m². Its focus is on agricultural construction and energy technology, bringing both topics together in one exhibition. For anyone interested in exploring agriculture through its buildings and energy use, this combination offers a specific point of interest.

The exhibition is part of the Futterkamp Teaching and Research Centre, the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Agriculture’s facility for animal production and agricultural construction. The centre maintains the building and energy exhibition and carries out work in agricultural education, research, consultancy and public relations. The exhibition is thus part of a specialist setting that encompasses education, trials and consultancy as well as the exhibits. The educational programme includes special seminars for people interested in equestrian and driving sports; these offer a distinct focus alongside the exhibition topics.

Free visits to the building and energy exhibition are scheduled for the second Thursday of each month from October to July, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; additional visits can be arranged in advance. Before your visit, check whether these arrangements apply to your chosen date.

Hochborre and Futterkamp’s Past

The medieval fortified settlement of Hochborre lies within Futterkamp’s archaeological area. It is an almost circular rampart with a diameter of just under 100 metres. This measurement makes the site’s shape easy to imagine and gives the archaeological site a tangible sense of scale. Hochborre thus provides a concrete point of reference for the area’s medieval history.

Visitors can also learn about Futterkamp’s Slavic past on a guided cycling tour led by an expert. This offers a different historical perspective from the one at Hochborre: the focus here is on the medieval fortified settlement, while the cycling tour explores the area’s Slavic past.

A Horticultural Dimension

Filippos Adventure Garden in Futterkamp is set among strawberry fields, rows of raspberry bushes and apple trees. This setting distinguishes the garden from the exhibition with its technical exhibits and from Hochborre as an archaeological site. For travellers drawn not only to technical or historical topics but also to garden experiences, it offers a distinct way to discover Futterkamp.
