Discover Radbruch: Circular Walk, Cycling Tour and Country Festival

Radbruch can be explored through three specific themes: Walking Route 4 starts at the village shop in the town centre, SamBa Tour 1 continues to Radbruch along a well-surfaced path, and a Country Festival takes place over the Whitsun weekend. This lets you choose between a circular walk with notable waypoints, a cycling tour with a picnic spot, and a cultural event.

On foot, by bike and at the Country Festival

The circular walk, Walking Route 4, starts at the village shop in the town centre and heads north to Rottorfer Straße at the corner of Hausbach. It crosses the Rottorfer Bridge and follows the row of fruit trees along Wittorfer Weg back into the village. The route project was still in its early stages. Use the route sequence as a guide and check the path on site before setting off.

SamBa Tour 1 continues to Radbruch along a well-surfaced path. There is a bicycle rest area along the cycle path, suitable for a picnic. Comparing it with Walking Route 4 reveals a different focus: the bridge and row of fruit trees define that route, while the surfaced path and picnic spot provide specific planning details for the SamBa Tour.

A Country Festival takes place in Radbruch over the Whitsun weekend. If you choose the festival as the reason for your trip, check the exact event date in advance. This gives you different options for your plans: a walk with waymarks, a cycling tour with a place to rest, or a cultural event.

More things to do in the Lüneburg travel destination

The wider Lüneburg travel destination offers additional, distinct landscape, history and culture themes. At the Findlingsring near Breetze, in the Bleckede district, erratic boulders take centre stage as evidence of the Ice Age origins of the Elbe Urstromtal. The Findlingsring is freely accessible, and parking is available. Check access information before your visit, as it may change.

The megalithic tombs in Schieringer Forst, between Barskamp and Walmsburg, were built during the Neolithic period, between 3000 and 2300 BC. A circular hiking trail from Walmsburg village square leads to the tombs. This lets you combine a prehistoric site with a walk, without needing to specify a route length.

The Biosphaerium Elbtalaue in Bleckede brings together an aquarium landscape, live beavers and more than 1,000 m² of modern exhibition space. In Lüneburg, the water tower offers a different perspective: its observation platform is 56 m high and affords views over Lüneburg and the surrounding area.

The routes in Amelinghausen also differ in their stated length and use. Lopausee and Lopaupark have a 2.2 km circular trail for jogging, walking and Nordic walking. The Königinnen-Weg is an 11-kilometre circular hiking trail around the heathland village of Amelinghausen. These two route lengths give you a concrete comparison for planning your own outing.

The Heideblütenfest takes place every August in the Amelinghausen collective municipality. The programme includes the crowning of the Heath Queen and a large parade; dates and programme vary. From Lüneburg Central Station, bus 5700 towards Soltau takes about 35 minutes to reach Amelinghausen bus station. Check the current timetable before travelling.

The water tower in Lüneburg hosts classical concerts at 8 pm on the first Sunday of every month and at every full moon. If a concert is important to your plans, check the dates before your trip.
