Within the fortress grounds of Grauerort, visitors can enjoy a regularly operating narrow-gauge railway (600 mm track). Dedicated railway enthusiasts welcome visitors to take a seat in converted ammunition wagons. The scenic route runs for one kilometer from the engine shed to the former landing stage on the Elbe River and back.

"Groveblitz" rides on Sundays and public holidays: 11:30 a.m. / 1:00 p.m. / 2:30 p.m. (Additional times available upon request)

For a small fee, the Fedtungs Blitz train takes you on a tour around the Grauer Ort fortress in Bützfleth. A wonderful experience for all ages. Highly recommended.

There is a campervan site on the fortress grounds, which is very popular. Sanitary facilities were specially provided for this purpose.

Every first Sunday of the month during the summer, a flea market takes place opposite the fortress grounds.

Furthermore, cultural and musical performances are also held.

Highly recommended! 👍🏼
