PURE NATURE

Forest and fields, peace and quiet.

There is a lot to discover.

Birds, insects, and certainly animals, grasses and flowers.

City dwellers like me are amazed.

Information boards about the historical origins

are located just before Rotenburg (Wümme).

Wümme Floodplains

Highlight • River

The meadow paths along the Wümme have something special for me.
Now and then the course of the river, the expanses of the meadows and today several young people on the Wümme
with an assembled raft.

Scenic Forest Road

Highlight • Trail

A fantastic stretch of smooth asphalt through the forest. Also fantastic for racing bikes. Almost a shame that I then had to turn back onto the gravel road.

September 9, 2023,Meist schattig bei Hitze an der Wümme

We almost didn't cycle in the heat. But we didn't regret it from Hellwege to Rotenburg and back because the route mostly offered nice shade.
We followed Walter's route for most of the route (thanks, Walter).
