Hamme River

It's just nice to drive on the gravel road along the Hamme and enjoy the peace and quiet. Tietjens Hütte and Melchers Hütte are ideal for taking a break.

January 25, 2024,Mittagspause in Osterholz

My lunch break was really nice today. I parked at the monastery in Osterholz. After a few hundred meters I was already in the Hammen lowlands. A beautiful landscape. The sun came out, no wind. It didn't stay that way the whole time, every now and then there were clouds in front of the sun, and every now and then …

At 8 o'clock a tour along the Hamme. I was accompanied by a motorboat from Melcher's bridge to OHZ. That made me cope with the long stretch of country road in a very cheerful manner🤗

Contrary to all forecasts, the sun broke through early on Sunday. Finally! So hurry up to Osterholz-Scharmbeck. The Hamme and the Osterholzer Hafenkanal should be the focus of the hike today. We started at Tietjens Hütte, today a well-frequented restaurant, located directly on the Hamme. The Hamme knows nothing but eternally flat land. It flows its entire 48 km very …

February 26, 2023,Sonntagsspaziergang 🥾 und Fototour an der Hamme 🦆 🦢🦫

I was inspired by Burkhard because we don't know this area that well. I think his photos are great 😊, "only" the stretch on the road wasn't really that great. The sky and the clouds were particularly beautiful today ☁️. We will certainly explore the area further, bike tours are certainly nice there too 🚲

May 19, 2025,Wanderung nach Melchers Hütte, Tietjenshütte und an der Hamme entlang

A beautiful tour through nature. There are plenty of opportunities for detours, as well as several rest areas and a few restaurants. We were out on a Monday, so everything was closed. Unfortunately, part of the route runs along a road (Hafen OHZ to Tietjenshütte), so you have to accept that. But the nature trails more than make up for …
