Visiting Worpswede
Experience art, find inspiration
Worpswede, once a remote moor village, has developed into a world-renowned artists' village and popular recreational destination. However, its intimacy and unique atmosphere have been preserved. Those who observe carefully can still discover traces of the old, truly ›picturesque‹ Worpswede: the thatched farmhouses along the moor canals remain intact, as does the old windmill, which turns its blades in the wind as it once did. The unique beauty of the mysterious moor landscape remains unchanged, with its expansive, ever-changing sky and the stillness of the wide plains—an experience in every season. Bergstraße invites visitors to stroll and linger with its small shops and cafés.
