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 👍🏼.

The name of Saint CHRISTOPHERUS, to whom this church in Oese is dedicated, translates to "Christ-bearer". According to the traditional legend of the saints, he was a giant-like man and carried people across a river. One day a small child called him, and he carried it on his shoulders to the other bank. Surprisingly, the child became heavier and heavier for him, and he said he felt as if the weight of the whole world was resting on his shoulders. Then the child revealed itself to him as Jesus Christ, the savior and redeemer of the world.

The bridge in the Auental valley is a beautiful sight. Information signs there provide details about the birdlife in the valley. With a bit of luck, you might even spot deer in the thicket. The surrounding area is beautifully wild and overgrown. Wild orchids in bloom create a vibrant and colorful scene 😊. Even raspberry bushes grow along the path. A hike here is highly recommended and absolutely stunning ☀️.
