The smallest streams become lake landscapes. Sturdy shoes are mandatory.
Anyway, beautiful scenery!

September 8, 2025,Rundtour um den Bothkamper See

The tour was quite varied. First, you have to make your way along a narrow, densely overgrown path past Gut Bothkamp. There are some very old oaks here, while others are just lying on the ground 😅 The trees in the forest are so tall that the sun barely reaches the ground. Woodpeckers hammer against the trees in search of …

A golden autumn looks different, but still a nice round in the drizzle, with interesting encounters, through a colorful forest with imposing ureichs and ancient beeches, along several sights. An antique shop is open every Saturday at Gut Bothkamp and the gates of the facility are open. So you can easily go through the gatehouses.
The St.Katharinenkirche in Kirchbarkau is …

Since the weather forecast was not so good today, we went closer, so off to Bothkamper See, parts of it were already known to us, from another tour, it was right again 😊. Unfortunately, you cannot visit Gut Bothkamp 🙁. Was parked at Hof Siek, which is very interesting, a 3 km nature trail that brings agriculture and landscape closer. …

May 18, 2025,Seeweg – Alte Brücke (1805) Runde von Kirchbarkau

The tour was quite nice. We parked right next to the bus stop, so it's no problem at all by car.

At the beginning, we missed a path a bit. Everything was already quite overgrown, and we were a bit fixated on the beautiful trees in front of us. A very nice nature tour—otherwise, there aren't many attractions. Also ideal …
