The best family-friendly hikes and walks in Diepholz

Very nice cycle path to ride

The museum consists of the open-air museum with its old houses and relics of everyday culture, and the Gessel Gold Hoard Forum. This exhibit displays a Bronze Age gold treasure weighing a total of 1.7 kilograms, discovered nearby.

To the Dümmersee always goes

It's a pity that all observation towers were not built directly near the water.

One of several towers around the lake. Also a good view from up here.

The observation tower on the northern shore of Dümmer offers a magnificent covered view of Lake Dümmer, especially the northern part. The staircase is secured with anti-slip strips and a round stainless steel handrail. An audio panel with audio recordings provides further interesting information. https://www.naturpark-duemmer.de/naturpark-duemmer/infrastruktur/aussichtstuerme.html

Anyone who "climbs" the Dümmer East Tower is often rewarded during the winter months with the sight of large groups of migrating and wintering waterfowl, which prefer to stay on the east side of the lake at that time. In summer, great crested grebes and lovely expanses; in winter, thousands of ducks and geese. During migration, the birds then meet on the east side of Lake Dümmer. In summer, great crested grebes and lovely expanses; in winter, thousands of ducks and geese. During migration, the birds then meet on the east side of Lake Dümmer. From the East Tower, almost the entire surface of Lake Dümmer can be seen. The eastern shore of the lake, which is clearly visible from the tower, is particularly popular with waterfowl during the winter months: Thousands of northern ducks and geese then meet here when they use the lake as a resting place during migration or to overwinter. The Dümmer is known for these large winter gatherings of waterfowl. It's no coincidence that the lake is considered a resting area of international importance – up to 70,000 birds have been recorded resting here at any one time. Large groups of shovellers, common drakes, wigeons, and cormorants can be found foraging on the lake, especially during migration and in winter. Thousands of mallards rest on the water, and geese fly in in the evening to spend the night on the lake. The East Tower is located in the immediate vicinity of the extensive reed beds and sedge meadows of the "Hohe Sieben" nature reserve. Such marsh meadows were widespread in the lowlands even before the Dümmer was dammed. A row of posts in the water reduces wave action in the shore area of the nature reserve and promotes reed growth in the shallow water. Cormorants like to dry their wings here, and various species of gulls can also be found here. Overall, the Dümmer, with its surrounding meadows and pastures, is one of the most important habitats for animal and plant species in Lower Saxony. Bird species that have long since disappeared elsewhere still find suitable habitats here. It is no coincidence that the area is part of the Europe-wide Natura 2000 protected area network. https://www.geolife.de/inhaltsverzeichnis/details/poi-2000022-8000-Beobachtungsturm_am_Ostufer_des_Duemmers.html

Beautiful sandy beach, quiet and comfortable.
