Wallstawe: Lager 72, farm shop and Altmark

Wallstawe can be explored through two distinct themes: Lager 72 combines a farm shop and café with a family-oriented farm visit; at the same time, the town is associated with two former castles. The broader travel destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel adds cycling, nature and cultural themes to the local perspective.

Lager 72: farm shop, café and seasonal corn maze

The farm shop and café at Lager 72 offer food produced on site and locally sourced products, homemade cakes, freshly prepared drinks and gifts. There is also a place to pause and relax. A family-oriented farm visit includes a children’s playground, a goat enclosure and a seasonal corn maze.

The corn maze is seasonal; other facilities may change over time. The offerings may also change. When planning your trip, take the maze season into account and check the latest information if specific offerings are essential to your visit.

A historical connection to Wallstawe

Cycling in the broader travel destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel

The Altmark Circuit is a regional cycling theme within the broader travel destination of Altmarkkreis Salzwedel. The almost 500-kilometre circular route passes through forests and meadows and by numerous brick and fieldstone churches. Its landscape ranges from the Altmärkische Schweiz to the Drömling. For much of its length, the route runs close to the Green Belt Germany, bringing nature, history and culture together.

The ten stages and varied surfaces are also important when planning: these include asphalt, concrete track slabs, paved field and forest tracks, sandy agricultural tracks and quiet roads. The different surfaces give you a practical indication of what to consider before setting out. Check local conditions before cycling.
