You can get the lovely Schwanewede hiking badge at the town hall after collecting all the stamps. The employee at the information desk is really very nice.

A charming, idyllic little village with cafes, perfect for a break. In the center, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Our Lady, a listed historical monument, invites visitors to explore its interior. Further information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebfrauenkirche_(Fischerhude)
