Bremervörde Harbor is located at the end of the Oste federal waterway at kilometer 0.2 LU. (The signage currently still shows the old value of kilometer 8.65.) From the Elbe near Neuhaus, the Oste River flows for approximately 68 kilometers through green marshland, with numerous curves. A pleasant cruise takes in numerous towns and boat docks. At high tide, Bremervörde Harbor can be reached in approximately 6 hours. Excellent restaurants and a variety of shopping opportunities are located near the well-equipped harbor and in the city center. Entry to Bremervörde Harbor is only possible at high tide (up to 1.70 m draft). The harbor does not dry out; only at the entrance does the water depth reach approximately 0.60 m at low tide.

For me, locks themselves are not particularly nice to look at. This lock, seen from the bridge, embedded in the forest, with the water in front of it, this lock and its surroundings are a special highlight.

About ten kilometers north of Bremervörde, the Oste meanders through a gentle geest landscape. Far away from large settlements and traffic, the river valley is ideal for hiking. The ferry in Graepel fits in with this. When passengers on the west bank, across from the “Zum Osteblick” inn, ring the bell, the innkeeper and ferryman Stefan Plate becomes active and puts passengers, bicycles and sometimes a car across the river. This happens just as gently as it is noiseless: the prahm, built around 1918, is pulled over the water by hand with the help of a chain anchored in the ground.

The "Vorwerkbrücke" pedestrian bridge connects the Auepark at Bremervörde Castle with the Vorwerk forest. There are many opportunities to run on both sides.

Interesting small inland port for pleasure craft. Recently a seal came to visit the port. Since the announcement, onlookers have been waiting for the seal to reappear. Perhaps he has gone underground in the meantime and is looking for food in the oste.

One of the most beautiful moors in Lower Saxony and also very lonely.
