Tips from the Community
The Lütjenburg motte and bailey castle near Lütjenburg in eastern Schleswig-Holstein is a free reconstruction of a medieval fortification, consisting of a motte (tower hill) and a forecourt. The complex has been under construction since 2003 as part of experimental archaeology in close cooperation with the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for Archaeology. The castle complex is an open-air museum, which, in addition to the existing buildings, also presents medieval everyday life. It is managed by a registered association.

It originates in the Rixdorf Pond near Rixdorf, flows through the Tresdorf Lake, and finally empties into the Grosser Binnensee (Great Inland Lake). The Kossau Valley is an important nature reserve with a diverse flora and fauna. The stream is largely untouched and, together with the wet meadows of the narrow valley floor, forms a valuable habitat.

A warm hello to everyone! For over 100 years, the Hohwacht & Lippe Fishing Association has represented the interests of local fishermen and their families. It is the professional and part-time representative of fishermen in Hohwacht and Lippe. In keeping with the association's original purpose, it serves the fishermen in its area and promotes camaraderie. Fishing as an economic factor has been declining for years. The fishing association therefore preserves traditions and memories of the times when fishing in Hohwacht was a central source of family income and social cohesion in the community. With events held around the fishing huts in Alt-Hohwacht, we remain committed to tradition, our members, guests, and the community. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and active participation in our events. We invite all our guests and friends of Hohwacht to support our cause by becoming a member of the association. Simply apply for your membership online here for an annual fee of €10.
