In the region around Steyerberg, particularly in the district of Deblinghausen, there is the “Eichenkratt” nature reserve. This seven-hectare area has been under nature protection since September 15, 1993 and is characterized by its high proportion of pedunculate oaks.

At the moment, the cycle path between Liebenau and Nienburg is difficult to pass due to construction work. Officially it is closed. As the construction site is very long, it will take a long time.

At the moment, the stretch between Liebenau and Nienburg is difficult to pass. There is a large, long construction site here. Hopefully the cycle path will be renewed by spring 2025.
