Haltern cycle paths

Sythen Castle is taking part in the Palaces and Castles Day with a variety of activities. German versions of international hits as well as originals will be sung by the "Haard Pop, Rock 'n' Blues Band", with booklets of lyrics provided. Guided tours of the castle are also on offer. Coffee and cake, bratwurst and cold drinks will be available. The meeting point is outside the castle.

Haltern am See is a charming town in the northern Ruhr region, which is not only known for its picturesque location on the lake of the same name, but is also an attractive shopping town. The town centre offers a diverse selection of shops, boutiques and cafés that invite you to stroll and linger. Here, visitors will find both large retail chains and local providers that impress with unique products and personalised service. The combination of natural recreation and an appealing range of shops makes Haltern am See a popular destination for shopping enthusiasts and day trippers alike.

The potato tour starts at 2.30 pm by bike (travelling by car is also possible). After a small reception with corn and lard bread, we will walk the path of our potatoes together.

What does that mean? From grated potatoes, fried potatoes or potatoes in sacks to the field.

After a tour of the plant and machinery, we cycle to our potato field 2 kilometres away.

The tour ends at the Hagedorn farm with a table service.

The theme is of course "potatoes".

If you are curious and would like to take part, please register yourself or a small group with us using the Hof Hagedorn contact form!

Plants and plant parts that we mainly harvest in July.

Get to know and identify medicinal plants and edible wild herbs along the way and learn interesting facts about how to use them at home for your well-being, health or enjoyment.

Different herbs and medicinal plants sprout throughout the year - different parts of the plant such as buds, leaves, flowers, seeds or roots are collected at different times of the year.

Being able to clearly recognise the plants on a hike all year round is an exciting experience for all ages.

What to expect: Herbs: Recognising, identifying, smelling, tasting and feeling edible wild plants and medicinal herbs.

Inspiring hike: We discover well-known and new plants along the way and learn about their wonderful properties. You will be amazed and perceive nature with different eyes afterwards.

Sharing: I experience time and again that participants are deeply touched by the plants and are happy to share their joy with others (shared joy is double the joy).

An evening of celebration in a unique atmosphere with various offers and stands that invite you to linger and relax at the end of the working day.
