Tips from the Community
Can be ridden well with a road bike. When you ride into Rümpel, you see cobblestones coming (comment from above), but that's not what this section is about. Everything is fine if you follow the road to the neighboring village.

It's no longer worth a visit, as the castle can only be viewed from a distance through the fence. The gardens are also no longer open to visitors.

Small works of art are available in a machine in the old building of the town hall in Bargteheide. They can be drawn for 4 euros in cash. In each of the six slots there are two works from art classes at the Kopernikus-Gymnasium, from the Bargteheider Kunstkreis and from artists working across the region. The idea came from art teacher Daniella Nährig, but it is not entirely new. There are already around 230 such art machines in Germany. "We want to create new approaches to art and combine it with social purposes." Therefore, the proceeds from the students' work are donated to the school's Tanzania support association. For the cross-regional works, 1 euro each goes to the artists, for packaging and maintenance, and for taxes. The packs, the size of cigarette packets, contain collages, watercolors, small sculptures or paintings. In the art circle, Tom Stellmacher and Lucia Schoop have created works for this. Lars Kaiser, project manager for art vending machines at the Potsdam Art and Creative House, is responsible for the supplies. He also ensures that the machines are set up and maintained free of charge. The boxes also contain texts about the artists and their email addresses. "Anyone who writes to them will receive an answer," promises Kaiser. https://www.bargteheideaktuell.de/aktuell/63819/neuer-kunstautomat-am-rathaus/
