Tastrup: Discover RadRundUm and the Landscape

Cycling is a specific theme to consider when staying in Tastrup: RadRundUm Flensburg comprises three themed cycling routes, and its network extends into the village. This means Tastrup can be considered as part of a wider regional cycling offer. At prominent points, information stations provide insights into nature, ecology, history and culture. Further afield around Flensburg, landscape and historical themes come into play.

RadRundUm and its themes

The information stations explain nature, ecology, history and culture at prominent points along the RadRundUm routes. For travellers who do not want to plan a cycling tour simply as a way of getting from one place to another, they offer additional points of interest. The themes can be understood as different perspectives on the surrounding area: they can take in questions of nature and landscape as well as historical and cultural connections. Nature and ecology draw attention to environmental contexts; history and culture provide different thematic emphases. This gives you more to work with when planning your trip than a reference to the routes themselves. The information concept places the cycling offer in a regional context and helps you connect your tour with the themes that interest you most.

The landscape around Flensburg

The landscape around Flensburg, as presented by RadRundUm, includes steep coastlines, forests, hedgerows and semi-open landscapes, as well as hilly terminal moraines and flat geest landscapes. These terms describe different regional landforms; the contrast between hilly terminal moraines and flat geest also highlights differences in topography. The geographical scale here differs from the local focus on Tastrup: the landscape perspective encompasses the wider area around Flensburg. For your trip planning, this connects the local RadRundUm focus with a broader view of the region’s landscape.

Historical traces along the routes

The perspective also extends beyond the present-day landscape in terms of time. Historical traces along the RadRundUm routes date back to the Stone Age. This broad historical horizon complements the nature and culture themes with a historical perspective within the regional route network. If you would like to include regional history in your trip planning, it offers another way, alongside the landscape forms, to explore the area around Flensburg.

Maps, descriptions and guided excursions

Maps and route descriptions for RadRundUm are available as PDF downloads for your own planning. You can use these materials to familiarise yourself with the route network and its themes in advance. RadRundUm also offers guided excursions, during which points of interest along the routes are explained. The two options have different emphases: the PDF materials are for independent planning, while guided excursions combine being out on the route with explanations of its points of interest. If you like to plan ahead before a tour, the maps and descriptions can help you get started. If explanations of features along the route are important to you, a guided excursion offers a way to explore with explanations along the way. This lets you choose the format that best suits your preferred way of discovering RadRundUm.
