Reddelich: Fruit Trail and Village Traditions
Accommodation in Reddelich
Within the wider Rostock destination, the Mecklenburg Baltic Sea Coast is one of the main tourism regions in the district of Rostock. Reddelich offers a different travel focus: the fruit trail passes through the villages of Reddelich, Brodhagen and Steffenshagen. If you would like to include paths and village life in your travel plans as well as coastal resorts, this is a good place to start. When choosing where to stay, it may therefore help to weigh up a stay focused on the fruit trail against other destinations within the wider Rostock destination.
Fruit Trail and Hanseatic Way
The fruit trail network is 12 kilometres long and can be explored on foot or by bicycle in sections. This makes it possible to plan a day around individual sections or take in the entire network. Another trail also passes through Reddelich: the Hanseatic Way follows historic trade routes between Hamburg and Szczecin and is a hiking and cycling route. The two trails offer different experiences: the fruit trail focuses on the three villages along the route, while the Hanseatic Way centres on historic trade routes.
Playground and Getting Your Bearings
A large playground with six play features is located on the fruit trail in Reddelich: a wooden xylophone, sound bars, a bird-call module, a nature memory game, a spinning game and a collection of tree cross-sections. The facilities may change over time; if a particular feature is important to you, it is best to check before your visit. A public car park on the B105 in Reddelich also serves as the starting point for the fruit trail. Check parking options before you travel. The fruit trail is also accessible by public transport, including bus and train. It is advisable to check current connections before travelling.
Tree-Planting Tradition and Events
In Reddelich, people maintain a tradition of planting a tree to mark a birth, wedding, family occasion or in remembrance. It is intended for local residents and links personal occasions with village life. The Obstarche Reddelich plans community harvest events for residents, families and children, as well as an annual apple festival. Dates and programmes may vary; if you are travelling specifically for an event, check the dates in advance. The municipality of Reddelich held its traditional village festival from 3 to 5 July 2026, the first weekend in July.
Culture Nearby
In nearby Bad Doberan, the Minster is one of the most significant examples of North German Brick Gothic architecture. It offers a different cultural focus from the trails in Reddelich, with brick architecture taking centre stage. If you are planning a visit, check current access arrangements.
Rostock as the Wider Destination
The Mecklenburg Baltic Sea Coast is one of the main tourism regions in the district of Rostock. The Rostock region is bordered by 62 kilometres of Baltic Sea coastline, with a number of seaside resorts. The coastal hinterland includes the river valleys of the Warnow and Recknitz. These regional landscapes provide the wider setting for a trip in which Reddelich, with its village trails and traditions, offers a distinct focus.
