Join in, have fun, and awaken your senses

From the goats and rabbits in petting zoo to tasting delicious dishes made from cabbage, cheese, and cherries – Holstein’s wealth of country traditions is unique in Germany and beyond. Dithmarsch is home to the largest cabbage farm in Germany, the Holstein Auenland produces strawberries, blueberries, and potatoes, the Elbmarschen region grows fruits, the region around Glückstadt grows vegetables, while the Pinneberger tree nurseries boasts Europe’s largest tree and garden nurseries: all of this adds up to exceptional variety within a region also known for its grassland management. 

Countless agencies offer vacations on farmsteads, children’s parties and birthdays, as well as the opportunity to join in an experience country life. You’ll find farm stores everywhere you look in Holstein. All along bicycle routes, cyclists can stop for a snack at farm cafés and dairies. Admire traditional crafts, or even try your own hand at them, at demonstrations and farmers’ markets.
