Circular tour

The Wendland is known for its numerous circular villages, which bear mysterious names like Jabel, Satemin, Meuchefitz, or Jeetzel. Circular villages are villages where people have built their houses in a circular arrangement. Only one way leads in and out again. Each village has its own history and its central village square, where people like to meet for a chat. On the circular village tour, you will discover beautiful old half-timbered houses, each one unique and lovingly restored. They give the charm of the circular villages - and of course the people who live there. The origin of this village form is still mysterious, but it is certain that the Wends lived in the circular villages from the 12th century onwards. In the Wendland Circular Village Museum in Lübeln, the history of the circular villages and the life and work of the people around 200 years ago come alive and can be experienced. The half-timbered houses of Lüchow also offer a harmonious backdrop that invites you to linger.
