Discover Hasloh: Forest, Recreation and History

Hasloh offers several different highlights for a stay: Pfingstwald and its circular trail, recreational activities in town, and traces of local history. If you are looking for a hotel in Hasloh, you can plan your trip around whether you want to spend most of your time in the forest, enjoying exercise and recreation, or exploring local history.

Pfingstwald and Trails

Hasloher Gehege lies west of Hasloh and is a forest estate managed by the Schleswig-Holstein State Forests. It is also known locally as Pfingstwald. A circular trail about five kilometres long has been laid out there as a forest nature trail, which you can use for walking or jogging. Its approximate length gives you a concrete point of reference when planning your day. Other options include cycling and skating routes that pass through Hasloh or start there. Check local conditions before using them. Hasloh is also part of the Rantzauer Forst recreation area on the edge of Hamburg. This larger area is connected to regional cycling routes and the local network of cycling and hiking trails.

Playgrounds and High Ropes Course

Hasloh has three public playgrounds: Flashorn, Robinson-Spielplatz and Heidkamp. Robinson-Spielplatz is the largest in Hasloh. It has a paved area for skating and inline skating, a basketball hoop and a beach volleyball court. Facilities may change; check the latest information before your visit.

The Hasloh High Ropes Course is located in Pfingstwald. The site has more than 100 climbing and obstacle stations of varying difficulty, and the activities are supervised by a trained team. The operator offers activities for all age groups. The children's course is for guests aged six and over who are between 1.20 and 1.70 metres tall. Check these age and height requirements before your visit, as operator rules may change. A secured base jump from a 13-metre-high platform is also available; check whether it is operating before your visit.

Local History and Information Boards

Hasloh was first mentioned in 1253 under the name “Herslo”. The historic Ochsendrift, a livestock droving route from Schleswig to Wedel, is also associated with Hasloh. From 1884, Hasloh was connected to the railway line from Altona towards Kaltenkirchen. Since 2024, Hasloh has had 25 information boards about buildings that no longer stand. The boards combine short stories with locations marked on maps, pinpointing the sites of former buildings. Check the current number when you arrive. A copy of the map showing the boards is displayed on the large noticeboard next to the school. As the noticeboard may be moved, check its location locally.

Whitsun Concert in the Forest

A Whitsun concert featuring various music groups is held every year in Pfingstwald and attracts hundreds of visitors. The exact event dates may vary; check the date before planning your trip around it.
