Bergewöhrden is located in the Eider lowlands on a dwelling mound, between the western part of the Delver Koog and Hennstedt. In the holiday home area, guests can stay with views of the Eider and enjoy water sports. A network of cycling routes opens up opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape. This gives visitors a choice of different priorities for their stay: water or cycling.

The Eider, water sports and cycling

In the holiday home area, you can stay with views of the Eider and enjoy water sports. The network of cycling routes opens up the surrounding landscape and offers another perspective on your stay: you can focus on activities on the water or explore the region by bike. Check local route conditions before setting out, as they may change.

For longer cycling tours in the region, the Eider-Treene-Sorge long-distance cycle route runs for around 170 kilometres through the Eider region. Rural cafés, farm shops and inns are located along the route. Unlike the local network of cycling routes, this long-distance route offers a regional framework for longer rides, with places to stop for refreshments and shopping along the way.

The wider Eider landscape also has marked hiking trails, themed cycling routes and opportunities to play golf. If you do not want to focus your stay solely on water sports and cycling, you will find other regional activities here. Check route and activity details locally.

Dithmarschen: culture and landscape

In the wider Dithmarschen destination, culture complements the themes of water and cycling. The Dithmarschen State Museum in Meldorf takes visitors through 1,200 years of Dithmarschen history—from the wealth of the peasant republic to rural everyday life in the 1960s. If you would like to explore the region’s history as well as enjoy outdoor activities, this offers a distinct cultural focus. Across the wider Dithmarschen destination, the museum landscape brings together 19 museums run by professional and volunteer staff in eleven locations. This number illustrates the range of possible museum visits and helps place the State Museum in Meldorf as one cultural highlight within the region.

The Dithmarschen Stone Age Park offers hands-on activities such as flint knapping, archery, making Stone Age jewellery, lighting fires and baking bread. Activities available to take part in depend on the programme, so check the latest information before your visit.

The Stone Age Forest in Albersdorf is located directly next to the Stone Age Park. This natural outdoor site covers around 40 hectares and is permanently free to access. The Stone Age Forest contains nine original archaeological monuments. Check access arrangements before your visit.

Near Lunden, the “Mötjensee and White-Tailed Eagle” route is an easy, 12.79-kilometre circular trail for walking in flat terrain. It offers a distinct hiking option alongside the water and cycling activities. The route length and difficulty rating can help you decide whether it suits your interests.
