Discover Wallstawe: Farm Visit and Local History

Wallstawe combines a farm visit with a glimpse into local history: at Lager 72, the farm shop, café and family-friendly experiences go hand in hand. The town is also historically connected with the former presence of two castles. If you are planning to explore beyond Wallstawe, you can discover more places of interest in the wider travel destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel.

Farm Shop, Café and Experiences at Lager 72

At Lager 72, food produced on the farm and sourced locally is available alongside homemade cake, freshly prepared drinks and gifts. The café offers a place to take a break. Enjoying refreshments and visiting the farm are therefore part of one shared experience, rather than the visit being limited to a quick errand.

A family-friendly farm visit includes a children's playground and a goat enclosure; there is also a seasonal corn maze. The maze is available only at certain times of year, rather than being a year-round attraction. The farm shop and café offerings may change, as may the other facilities. If a particular offering is important to your visit, check what is currently available beforehand.

A Glimpse into the Town's History

Wallstawe is associated with the former presence of two castles. This historical dimension offers a different focus from a visit to Lager 72: it belongs to the town's history, while the farm shop, café and farm facilities shape the visitor experience today. Together, these themes invite you to see Wallstawe not just as a name on your itinerary, but as a destination in its own right when planning your trip.
