February 9, 2025,Hammeniederung – Aussichtsturm "Himmelstreppe" - Runde von Worpswede

Today I swapped the Wümme lowlands for the Hamme lowlands - a really great excursion destination with an incredible expanse! Our Wümme lowlands seem almost small and tranquil in comparison 😉.
The hike was beautiful, but the asphalt and cobblestone portion was a bit too much for me, but in moorland areas and river lowlands the path options are of …

October 29, 2023,Wanderung im Gebiet Breites Wasser

The Breites Wasser area lies between Osterholz-Scharmbeck and Worpswede. The landscape is determined by pasture meadows, water areas and watercourses. The paths are easy to walk on. However, some paths are closed due to bird protection measures. The months April to June are probably interesting for bird watching. All in all a nice hike.

January 6, 2022,❄️Hamma Hamme Tour 🥾Outdoor Art mit Dinos🦖

Hello,
After the past rainy days, I was in the starting blocks for today with a great goal. In bright sunshine and 3 degrees, slightly frozen ground and water with a light layer of ice awaited me. Worpswede was on the note, but not so much as an artists' village, but rather to explore the landscape of the "Teufelmoors". My …
