Fischerhude, sights and walks Old houses, lots of greenery and a small river invite you to take a leisurely stroll through Fischerhude. You'll see a lot on this day trip. Culture, art and nature. There are also a few restaurants to fortify yourself. Fischerhude is known for its galleries and the artists who work or have worked here. Along with Worpswede, not far away, it is a really worth seeing artists' village in Lower Saxony. One of the most important artists is certainly Otto Modersohn. His paintings are exhibited in the museum of the same name. But it's not just the art that's worth seeing, the whole place is.

Fischerhude on the Wümme, known as an artists' village since the beginning of the 20th century, impresses with its historic buildings in romantic alleys. It is a place that invites you to linger. Gastronomic offerings support this with tasty treats. With around 3,400 inhabitants, Fischerhude is a relatively small place, but it is worth a stay just for the museum of the impressionist and co-founder of Worpswede, Otto Modersohn. But the Wümme that flows here, the local museum, the Liebfrauenkirche and the Mühlenberg with its windmill are also worth a visit. First mentioned in documents in 1124, Fischerhude, located on the Hamburg-Bremen long-distance cycle route, belongs to the town of Ottersberg.
