Dargun Cloister and Castle Compound

Visit the cloister and castle compound and trace the historical paths through the Schlosspark. Here, you can discover the park’s secrets between the museum “Uns lütt Museum”, the wedding pavilion, a field of fruit trees, a hornbeam arbour path, 300 hundred-year-old yew tree, a ginkgo tree and the café in the wheat store. View the impressive structure on your own along a marked circular path or book an interesting tour. The view from the 25 metre high tower is also well worth a visit.

Dargun recreational forest

Forest experience trail

At a total of 15 stations, you can experience the woodland habitat up close. The mascot “Scrofi” is a boar piglet who knows the forest like the back of his hoof and guides you to the individual stations. You can choose between the three kilometre “Young Boar Tour” or the 1.5 kilometre “Piglet Tour”. Whether you are reading tracks, wobbling on a balancing disk or finding your way through the Wild Boar Maze – playful, active experiences are at the heart of the forest and speak to visitors with all the senses.
