Tips from the Community

Michi Querweg
July 22, 2026, Ahlhorn Fish Ponds

Originally created exclusively for fish farming, the Ahlhorner Fischteiche today form an important nature reserve. The paths and trails around them offer numerous opportunities for varied hikes with views of the water landscape. Fish farming is still practiced today, so a visit to the fish farm with its own smokehouse and shop is also worthwhile.

A viewing tower in the shape of a hunting blind. From here you can look out over the church pond, its reed-lined shores, and a small island, and observe the birdlife.
