Kökelsumer Bridge Raft Landing on the Stever

Highlight • River

A guided raft trip on the Stever River is a truly special experience; hikers and bikers also have the opportunity to enjoy magnificent views of the renaturalized floodplain from a viewing platform. It's always worth it: cattle, Poitou donkeys, Koniks, storks, egrets, and other rare birds have found a habitat here again and are a delight to observe.

Steveraue Nature Park Visitor Centre

Highlight • Rest Area

The construction of the Nature Park Center is now complete, and it has already opened. Here, visitors can obtain maps and suggested tours within Olfen, as well as information on bicycle tours to neighboring towns. City e-bikes are currently available for rent at €16 per day. Souvenirs from Olfen can be purchased here, and raft trips on the Antonia, subject to availability, can be booked.

Ample parking is available, and a bicycle repair station is also on site.

At numerous interactive stations within the Nature Park Center, children and adults alike can learn about life in and along the Stever River in a playful way. Visitors can try their hand at fishing with a magnetic rod, and a virtual aquarium completes the experience.

Opening hours on weekends and public holidays are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Füchtelner Mill

Highlight • Monument

The Füchtelner Mühle is a cultural monument in Olfen that is known far beyond the region. Built between 1301 and 1306, it was almost always used as an oil, grain or sawmill. In 1992, a hydroelectric power plant was built to generate electricity in one of the parts of the building, which can still generate electricity for over 100 households today. A flood ensures that fish and other creatures in the river can move up and down the water. A station on the SteverLandRoute behind the mill provides information about this great project: Here there is a beautiful, shady picnic area with a view of the surrounding water and a water feature - hands-on station for children that allows children to experience the current in the river. The SteverLandRoute is the family cycle path in Münsterland: Here, display boards for adults and information boards especially for children (!) provide information about the great project. There are a total of 14 participation stations along the route. If you like, you can travel from station to station with the children's discovery map, coin print.
