Discover Hiking and Culture in Lützkampen

Lützkampen combines a hiking route with art and history in the districts of Welchenhausen and Stupbach. When planning your trip, you can consider the Mill Trail and the cultural sites as separate focal points: for the route, its course and rating matter; for the exhibitions, it is their changing content.

Hiking and getting your bearings

The Lützkampen Mill Trail starts and ends at the church square. From there, it passes the Harspelter Mill, follows the Irsen to the Lützkämper Mill, and then returns to the village. The route is rated very easy to easy. Its features also include demolished bunkers and tank barriers of the West Wall. In this way, the route links the mills and the Irsen with a theme from military history.

Navigation works differently on the Islek trails: the routes have no trail markers or signposts. Follow the written route descriptions or use GPS navigation. As route information can change, check it again before setting out.

Art and culture in the districts

The wArtehalle art museum is located in Welchenhausen, a district of Lützkampen. It presents changing exhibitions featuring works by artists from neighboring countries. The exhibition space covers 10 square metres. The wArtehalle is open around the clock, and admission is free. Check access information again before your arrival.

Between Welchenhausen and Stupbach, the KultOurtal-Straße presents 25 cultural monuments and works of art. The House of Landscape and History is part of the KultOUR-TAL-STRASSE. It presents changing exhibitions and documentaries on the cultural and natural history of the Islek and is a popular resting place for hikers. The KultOurtal-Straße focuses on individual artworks and cultural monuments between the districts; the House, by contrast, brings together themes of landscape, cultural and natural history in exhibitions and documentaries.

In Stupbach, the Spritzenhaus presents regional historical exhibitions and information materials. The wArtehalle Museum Association renovated the building in 2016. It is open around the clock every day; check the latest visitor information before your arrival.

A 2.7-kilometre road runs along the Our between the Lützkampen districts of Welchenhausen and Stupbach. This road provides a tangible geographical link between the two districts and complements the orientation provided by the cultural sites.
