Summer festival weekend: fun and activities in the Oldenburg district!
The Oldenburg district has a lot to offer at the weekend! With summer temperatures of up to 30 degrees, people are drawn outside. A variety of leisure options are waiting to be explored. Whether in the outdoor pools or at festive events - there is no chance of boredom.
Unfortunately, the outdoor pools in Wildeshausen and Harpstedt are currently being renovated, so swimmers have to resort to the alternatives in Ganderkesee, Kirchhatten and the natural pool in Hude. However, bathing fun is guaranteed there!

Another highlight of the weekend is the 5th US Motorhome Meeting at Falkensteinsee, which lasts until Sunday. Around 100 to 120 American motorhomes and vans are expected here. Rieke Meiners from the Falkensteinsee campsite organizes the largest motorhome meeting in Germany and has put in a lot of effort. Two meadows are available for vehicles, one for vans and one for larger motorhomes. Visitors are always welcome to experience the lively RV “city.”
The program of the meeting attracts with various stands with American products, culinary delicacies such as flamed salmon, spit roast and crepes as well as music: On Friday, solo entertainer Jürgen Brinker will provide the atmosphere, while on Saturday the group “Hombre” from Schleswig-Holstein will delight the guests with their southern rock from 7:30 p.m. Simply a place to get together sociably!
