Discover Lübesse: Agriculture and cycling routes

Lübesse offers several specific points of interest for a stay: the B 106 runs through the municipality, at AGP Lübesse you can learn more about agriculture and buy regional products in the farm shop. Cycling themes also lead into the wider region. The right accommodation depends mainly on which of these themes you want to focus on. The road, rail connections and regionally located excursion destinations provide different points of reference for planning your trip.

Getting to Lübesse and finding your way around

The B 106 runs through Lübesse from north to south and connects the municipality with the A-24 junctions at Schwerin-Ost and near Ludwigslust. The nearest rail connections are in Rastow and Sülstorf, each about six kilometres from Lübesse. This gives you different points of reference for planning: you can consider whether the road connection or a rail connection better suits your trip. If you plan to travel by train, check the current connections in advance.

Lübesse is considered a municipality with 70 percent forest cover; this figure may be based on an older description of the area. The town is also considered an energy village, associated with wind power and photovoltaics in the industrial estate. Alongside nature and landscape, energy and agriculture are therefore also themes here. The regional EntdeckerROUTEN app offers GPS-guided visitor information to help you find your way independently. Before using it, check whether the app is available and its features are working.

Agriculture and regional products

At AGP Lübesse, visitors can learn how a modern large-scale agricultural enterprise operates and see large tractors. Farm tours for interested groups are available by appointment. If you would like to include a tour in your travel plans, arrange it in advance. Potatoes are among the crops grown at AGP Lübesse. You can buy regional agricultural products in the farm shop. Asparagus is grown seasonally and is available in the farm shop during the season; product availability may vary.

AGP Lübesse thus offers a range of insights: a farm tour focuses on the way the business operates and its large tractors, while the farm shop lets you buy regional produce.

Cycling in the wider region

In the wider Ludwigslust area, the themed cycling excursion “Cycling Around Raseneisenstein” offers historical information in a scenic setting. Maps for the themed cycling excursions are available from the Amt Ludwigslust-Land. In the wider Lewitz area, the Lewitz Circular Cycle Route follows easy-to-ride paths through typical meadows, dense forests and traditional villages.

The two cycling excursions have different emphases: “Cycling Around Raseneisenstein” focuses on historical information and the landscape. By contrast, the description of the Lewitz Circular Cycle Route highlights the meadows, forests and traditional villages along the way. This distinction can help you choose a cycling theme based on your interests, without conflating the regional tours with local offerings in Lübesse.

Culture and nature in Ludwigslust-Parchim

In the wider destination of Ludwigslust-Parchim, Ludwigslust Palace offers a historical highlight. It was the former residence of the dukes of Mecklenburg; the palace, park and town form an ensemble described as the “Little Versailles of the North”. The palace is the centrepiece of an almost completely preserved late Baroque town plan, with a former court church and an English-style landscape park. The palace presents art and courtly domestic culture from the 18th and early 19th centuries. This provides a cultural and historical theme to complement the agricultural insights in Lübesse.

Guided tours at Zarrentin Monastery cover the history of the former Cistercian nunnery, the lives of the nuns and the architecture. There is also a permanent exhibition about the monastery on the ground floor. Tours, dates and access may change; check the latest visitor information before your visit.

Dömitz Fortress offers another cultural and historical perspective. The citadel is a Renaissance fortress built on the Italian model, in the shape of a pentagon with bastions, casemates and a drawbridge. The fortress museum explores the history of the fortress and town, the history of the Elbe, harbour and bridges, Fritz Reuter, as well as special and art exhibitions. As special exhibitions may change, it is worth checking the current programme before your visit.
