There are certain beneficial behaviors in cattle, especially bulls: walk slowly, do not approach the animals head-on, do not look straight in the eye, keep the dog tight on a leash.

September 14, 2021,NP Aukrug: An den Ufern der Bünzau, Bünzer Wald, Abschnitt Naturparkwanderweg

Beautiful, mostly natural paths on both sides of the Bünzau, many bridges. That was a tour based on tracking by Karin Kreutz. Recommended, but not an insider tip. At least it's a popular trail for dog owners because everyone I met, and quite a few for a Tuesday evening, had at least one four-legged friend with them. Exceptions were two …

A Bünzau round with Ute...was fun. Some of the paths are still quite muddy, but we made it.

July 20, 2022,Wanderwege Bünzener Au bei 100 °F

I'm a fan of the Bünzau hiking trails in the Aukrug Nature Park, especially in spring and autumn. Today in midsummer at 38 °C (100 °Fahrenheit - featured in the title because of the round number) these hiking trails meant lonely, half-overgrown paths as well as ubiquitously attacking horseflies. Despite the temperature, the brakes knew no inertia: every photo stop, …

October 8, 2021,NP Aukrug: 9x über die Bünzau & ihre Zuflüsse 🍂

On a golden autumn day we went to the most beautiful restaurant that the NP Aukrug has to offer. Trailhead is the parking lot at the glider airfield. The path includes 8 bridge crossings (2 bridges double) over the Bünzau and its tributaries ... plus a crossing of a stone-lined ford. A bridge is not taken, only happens.

April 1, 2025,NP Aukrug: Bünzau Wanderwege✨

For me, the Bünzau hiking trails are the most beautiful in the Aukrug Nature Park! I'd barely arrived when I was greeted by the ERNAs (Heck cattle). 🥳

I always enjoy hiking in this area. I usually choose the "7+ Bridges Tour," which crosses the Bünzau and its tributaries several times. This time, however, I opted for an unofficial trail …

We already visited the forests in Aukrug along the Bünzau River earlier this year.

No reason not to go back again 🙂.

To sum it up:

- Forest and meadow trails: TOP 👌

- Asphalt/paved paths: FLOP 👎

The drizzle didn't help 😕.
