At the end of the Stadtstreek in Rotenburg's pedestrian zone, your attention will be drawn to a beautiful old half-timbered house: the "Alte Apotheke" (Old Pharmacy), a house dating from 1835 with a charming entrance area that has been photographed and painted many times. The door features a brass knocker and doorknob made by the Ehlermann and Kovatsay iron foundry. A pharmacy still operates inside today, possessing a very special charm. Stepping inside feels like stepping back in time. https://www.nordwaerts.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten-museen/poi/alte-apotheke-100210890/

The Romanesque fieldstone church, the oldest parts of which date from around 1150, characterizes the townscape of Kirchwalsede with its striking exterior. It is open as a cycle path church, even for a cyclist's break. Info: https://www.kirche-bkv.de/Kirchwalsede
