HIKING - NORTH PATH

NORTH PATHS, flat - wide - unique

Enjoyable hiking the North German way. Hiking is the ideal way to explore and enjoy the Rotenburg (Wümme) district at any time of the year. On foot through nature! Be one with nature. You can breathe deeply and relax in good air and natural silence. In winter, when the snow covers the landscape completely in white, in spring, with the lush green of the meadows and trees, in summer, when the cornflowers bloom or in autumn during the “Indian Summer” in the forests. The undulating ups and downs of the Geest, the diverse landscape and the numerous museum facilities guarantee variety. The lack of steep climbs makes hiking a leisurely pleasure. Let yourself be fascinated by the unique nature of our region. The quality of the NORDPFADE also promises the highest level of hiking enjoyment!

At the end of your hike, you are welcome to stop off at our restaurant or spend a pleasant night in our hotel. As a quality hiking host, we have adapted to the needs of hiking.

Equals five NORTH PATHS are located right near us. The NORDPFAD Wümmeniederung with a total length of 32.5 km runs directly past our house. The other four NORTH PATHS in the area can be reached quickly. These are:

Endless expanse under a wildly moving sky

Since the penultimate ice age, the Wümme has formed a unique northern German river landscape: the Wümme lowlands with its meadows, floodplains and forested dune ranges. The NORDPFAD leads sometimes more and sometimes less close to the river and always offers magnificent views of the wide meadows of the Wümmen lowlands.

On natural paths through moor, forest and heath

The 654 hectare nature reserve “Großes und Weißes Moor” is one of the best-preserved raised moors in Lower Saxony. NABU Rotenburg and the Rotenburg (Wümme) district have created four nature experience hiking trails here, the NORDPFAD “Dör't Moor” is one of them. A treat for every nature lover!

Landscape-historical path for people with limited mobility

The NORDPFAD leads over a geest ridge, past the Wolfsgrund nature reserve - one of the largest contiguous heath areas outside the Lüneburg Heath, with its inland dunes and depressions; all evidence of the interplay between warm and ice ages.

City-Country-River

Wherever you start in Rotenburg, you'll quickly be at the river! Three rivers, Wümme, Rodau and Wiedau, flow through the district town. The city is always present, but at the same time far away, especially when you walk through the meadows, forests and moors and reach the Bullenseen.

Mill romance in the middle of enchanted forests

A hike from the beautiful farming village of Riekenbostel through magnificent and diverse forests to the mill idyll of the picturesque Federlohmühlen - perfect for relaxing and recharging your batteries!

Moore, megalithic graves and hometown of a famous writer.

The NORDPFAD invites you to explore the Steinfelder Holz, the Stellingsmoor and the 750-person village of Nartum, which is surrounded by fields and meadows. Walter Kempowski, an important German writer of the 20th century, lived here for 42 years.
