December 28, 2025, Pastor-Draegert-Weg Along the Stream

The Pastor-Drägert-Weg invites you to take a stroll. On this beautiful path, along the Döser Wettern, you can experience the charming transitions between geest and moor, the interplay of light and shadow in the Brockeswald forest, and the typical hedgerow landscape.

Beautifully renovated water tower with a café and holiday apartments. Beautifully situated in the village and centrally located for excursions in all directions thanks to its proximity to the train station.
