Futterkamp: Hochborre, Agriculture and Adventure Garden

Futterkamp offers several clearly distinct starting points for planning your trip: archaeological history, agricultural construction, energy technology, an expert-guided cycling tour and an adventure garden. This allows you to consciously choose the focus of your stay without reducing the area to just one attraction.

Medieval traces around Hochborre

The medieval fortified settlement of Hochborre is located in Futterkamp’s archaeological area. Its shape becomes particularly vivid through the precise description: Hochborre is an almost circular castle rampart with a diameter of just under 100 metres. If you are interested in the history of a place, this measurement gives you a concrete impression of the site and makes its historical dimensions more tangible. At the same time, Hochborre remains clearly distinguishable as an archaeological site from Futterkamp’s other themes.

Construction, energy and agriculture

A second focus is the Futterkamp teaching and experimental centre. It is the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Agriculture’s facility for animal production and agricultural construction. The centre operates a Construction and Energy Exhibition and carries out tasks in agricultural education, experimental work, consultancy and public relations. The educational programme also includes special seminars for those interested in equestrian and driving sports.

The Construction and Energy Exhibition displays exhibits from around 230 companies across more than 3,500 m². Its content focuses on agricultural construction and energy technology. The visit is therefore aimed not only at people with a general interest in regional development, but also at you if you would like to learn more about technical solutions and the practical foundations of agricultural work.

Cycling tour and adventure garden

On an expert-guided cycling tour, you can learn about Futterkamp’s Slavic past. The tour combines active travel with a historical theme. For your choice, it is important that the exploration of the past is explicitly described here as taking place במסגרת of a guided cycling tour.

Filippo’s Adventure Garden in Futterkamp offers a differently themed excursion idea. It is situated between strawberry fields, rows of raspberry bushes and apple trees. This setting creates a distinctly different accent from Hochborre or the Construction and Energy Exhibition and makes the adventure garden an independent destination for planning your day.

Exhibition opening times

The Construction and Energy Exhibition is scheduled to be open for free visits on the second Thursday of each month from October to July, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Further visits are available by prior arrangement. If you plan to focus on this attraction, you should therefore distinguish between the regular date and an additionally arranged visit.

When looking for a hotel in Futterkamp, you can use the theme that matters most to you as a guide for further trip planning: archaeological history, agricultural education, a guided cycling tour or an adventure garden. For further destination selection, you can also include Panker, Blekendorf, Grebin, Behrensdorf, Hohenfelde, Tröndel, Sehlendorf and Schwartbuck.
