White Bridge over the Hunte River in Wildeshausen

Highlight • Bridge

It's fun to drive along the park on the Hunte with its beautiful bridge and footbridges. As far as I can tell when I visit in summer, the view and atmosphere are very nice.

Hunteradweg through the Pestruper Moor

Highlight • Cycleway

Here the Hunter Cycle Path leads on gravel through the Pestrup Moor. It is a pleasant ride, though. The landscape and nature are wonderful.

View of the Hunte River

Highlight • Viewpoint

A really great spot on the Hunte River, but unfortunately there are no seats. So maybe bring your own folding chair. It's worth it.

Heinefelde Watermill

Highlight • Monument

The Heinefeld water mill has been restored, BUT PRIVATELY UNFORTUNATELY!!
Therefore, the owners don't like it when people just walk onto the premises or look through the windows.
Maybe they …

In autumnal temperatures, but with 🌞 we went on a nice bike tour around Wildeshausen. Partly along the Hunte. And saw many migratory birds. The roads are partly forest paths, gravel paths and bike paths.

On a typical November day (overcast and cold), I first drove to the starting point in Wildeshausen; this time I parked on the Gildeplatz. Be careful, there is a charge, the first two hours are free, 4 hours €2, day ticket €5!
A very, very beautiful tour through the Wildeshausen Geest, amazingly varied landscape.
But I really liked this November-gray …

A beautiful tour through the Wildeshauser Geest. You can see more mills, but then you have to be careful where you have to turn. We didn't see the signage.

Today it was wild through the Geest and I actually found watermills...I found the one in Heinefelde particularly beautiful. A great tour through moors and along the Hunte, which meanders wildly through the Wildeshauser Geest.

Beautiful bike ride from the Zweckverband Naturpark Wildeshauser Geest. Good to travel paths. Unfortunately, the route did not go directly past the water mills, so we actually only saw one mill. It's a shame, the special purpose association on the route could improve that.

For a long time, water mills were the basis for generating energy in the Wildeshauser Geest. We cycled along the traces of this history and mostly followed the "WassermühlenTour" cycle path.
