Großer Flusspfad (Great River Trail) – Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Trail

This is a very romantic passage on the hike. Always next to the babbling Oertze and on a rustic, rooty single trail. There is still a lot to learn from the great signage!

September 16, 2025,16.9.2025 🥾🦮 Heidschnuckenweg, von Faßberg nach Müden und zurück 😬 mit Simba

This route led along a narrow "jungle path," which we like 😊
In Müden, there was the lake and the mill, but otherwise, nothing particularly special.
It was annoying that the bus that was supposed to take us back arrived a quarter of an hour early, so we sprinted off. Micha knocked on the driver's door, but the driver drove …

The detour was perfect to let our eyes feast on the pretty and well maintained lakeside properties. Afterwards we went a long way along the Örtze to meet @Dolle's favorite …
