Farmers' market and family entertainment at the historic Scheunenhof — Nordhausen district
The Scheunenhof-Fest Sundhausen is one of the most charming village and farmers' festivals in the southern Harz foothills. The venue is the historic Scheunenhof in Sundhausen, a small village near Nordhausen — a traditional farm complex that has shaped the village's agriculture for generations. The festival combines the character of a farmers' market with family entertainment, making the historic farm accessible to the public once a year.
The farmers' market features direct marketers from the Nordhausen district — cheese, sausage, bread, fruit, honey, herbs, liqueurs, plants. Demonstrations of old agricultural machinery (scything, starting a historic tractor, old harvesting equipment) are a recurring program item. For families, there is pony riding, a children's carousel, craft activities, and encounters with farm animals (sheep, goats, chickens).
Sundhausen is a district within the Nordhausen district in the north of the state of Thuringia, on the southern edge of the Harz mountains. The village is scenically located in the transition between the Harz massif (Brocken, Wernigerode) and the Goldene Aue valley. The region is characterized by agriculture — fruit growing, farming, and small direct marketers shape the image of the villages.
The Südharz region, with its karst landscape (Karst caves Kelle and Heimkehle), the Walkenried monastery ruins, the nearby city of Nordhausen, and the ascent to the Brocken, offers a special mix of nature, history, and rural culture. Visitors to the Scheunenhof-Fest often combine their day trip with an excursion to the Harz mountains or the Walkenried monastery ruins.
