The Hagener Au valley shapes the landscape around Prasdorf, while old trees and the village square with its pond add a different character to the village centre. The area is also connected to Lilli Arp and Udo JĂĽrgens, and offers holidays on farms and riding holidays for children. Prasdorf therefore offers several points to consider when choosing a place to stay: natural surroundings, local history and rural activities.
Hagener Au and Village Green
The landscape around Prasdorf is shaped by the Hagener Au valley, with meadows, pastures and wooded slopes. Many old trees characterise the village centre. There is a village pond on the village square, and planting and preserving native species are important in Prasdorf. These features make both the surrounding landscape and the greenery in the village defining themes.
The Stiftung Naturschutz model project covers two sections of the Hagener Au lowlands between Prasdorf and Laboe, together measuring almost six kilometres. The Hagener Au corridor is considered the most important biotope network corridor in the western Probstei. The model project has landscape conservation and NATURA 2000 status. If the current protected-area classification is important for your plans, check the official nature conservation information in advance.
Local History and Farm Café
Prasdorf is connected to the life stories of Lilli Arp and Udo Jürgens. Lilli Arp was born and grew up here. Udo Jürgens lived with his grandmother in Prasdorf for almost a year and attended school there. Their connections to the village differ: Arp’s are her birth and upbringing there, while Jürgens’s are a longer stay and school attendance.
A farm café is also part of the local visitor offering. As opening arrangements may change, it is best to check them before your visit.
Riding Holidays and Farm Stays
Ponyhof Sye offers riding holidays for children in Prasdorf. Participating children stay in two modern children’s sleeping houses with a covered courtyard. Programme availability and booking conditions may change, so ask about current options before booking.
Prasdorf’s farms also offer farm stays. As availability may vary from farm to farm, check with the relevant farm before booking. This lets you consider this as a distinct kind of rural holiday alongside riding holidays for children.
Cycling and Hiking in the Wider Probstei
In the wider Probstei, signposted cycling and hiking routes pass through fields, meadows, nature reserves and villages, and lead to historic monuments and lakes. There are shelters, benches and inns along the routes. These regional paths offer a range of landscapes and places to stop, and you can choose a route to suit your plans.
Hiking routes in the Probstei also pass through traditional hedgerow landscapes and salt marshes, through nature reserves and alongside inland lakes. Information boards share facts about the local flora and fauna. Horse riders can enjoy a connected network of riding trails in the Probstei. These cycling, hiking and riding options are in the wider region, while the farm café, pony farm and farm stays are among the offerings mentioned for Prasdorf.
