The Giebichenstein in Stöckse is considered the largest erratic boulder in Lower Saxony and is definitely worth a break. Those eager to climb can also manage to ascend it. Not far from it, there is a playground on the outskirts of Stöckse, and you can also reach the Stöckser See via footpaths.

It's wonderful when the larkspurs make a guest appearance on the Waldbühne stage, delighting the audience with their splendid blossoms. The performances are free, absolutely worth seeing, and—as every year—scheduled to run until the end of April.

Very nicely located. On weekends in summer, model boats are often out on the nearby Stöckser Lake.

The "Drakenburger Marsch" still shows clear traces of the river bend marsh, a form of land use that was once typical for the entire Wesermarsch. In addition to its cultural and historical significance, this type of landscape, which has become rare, offers a habitat and retreat for vulnerable and endangered animal and plant species and communities due to its structural diversity. The species-rich, well-preserved hedges and their herbaceous fringe are of very high ecological importance as a habitat for numerous, sometimes rare, vertebrates, birds and small mammals. The grassland, which is partly characterized by flood troughs and is regularly flooded, represents an important refuge for organisms bound to temporary bodies of water and offers resting and feeding opportunities, especially for Nordic birds migrating after floods. The remaining wet grassland is also important as a food habitat for the white stork. https://www.lk-nienburg.de/portal/seiten/naturschutzgebiet-drakenburger-marsch-901001074-21500.html
