This small, surprisingly charming path runs between meadows and the edge of the forest: the Raddusch Sculpture Trail. If you're passing by by bike, you should definitely dismount and take your time. Local artists have carved figures from old tree trunks here – a wise old man with a long beard, an owl, a coiled snake figure with a crown. Almost like guardians along the way. The atmosphere is tranquil, almost a little mystical. There are wooden seats, small rest areas with views over the fields, and enough shade for hot summer days. The path itself is wide enough for bikes, but not a typical bike path – more of a quiet path for explorers. What's particularly nice is that the Sculpture Trail doesn't stand alone: It connects organically with the network of paths around the natural harbor of Raddusch and the pond landscapes near Stradow. Ideal for anyone who wants to combine nature with culture and a touch of fairytale forest – completely free of charge, but with plenty of atmosphere.

The diameter of the original Slavic castle of Raddusch was 38 m inside and 58 m outside. The castle was surrounded by a moat about 5.5 meters wide. Two tunnel gates led into the interior of the 7 meter high wall. In the castle courtyard there were 4 wooden wells, one of which was almost 14 meters deep. During the excavation, many things were found in this well, which are now displayed in the fascinating fountain display case. Building structures were found in the castle courtyard that were mainly used as granaries and warehouses.
