Tips from the Community
A park with history is the Auepark Bremervörde. It is romantically situated between the former chancellery of Vörde Castle - today's Bachmann Museum - and the idyllic course of the Oste river and is a paradise for leisurely walks and bike tours. Hiking enthusiasts simply follow the onward route of the NORDPFAD Vörder See-Osteland and experience diverse nature and cultural experiences over a total of around 20 kilometers. Both guests and residents of Bremervörde appreciate the Auepark as a quiet oasis close to the city center with walking paths, the Auesee lakes, and ample seating. The "Path of the Talking Trees" extends throughout the entire park area, introducing over 200 trees and shrubs from all over the world. Today, the Auepark is also used for historical and ecological projects. A visit is absolutely recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏼.
