The nature reserve extends along the Oste between Niederochenhausen and Hechthausen between Stade and Hemmoor. In front of and on the dike, you can take a nice walk here and immerse yourself in the landscape.

Today I enjoyed the sun on the wind-protected dike of the Oste. Great scenery, a bench here and there would be nice to be able to watch the countless birds.
