View of the Osten–Hemmoor Transporter Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A crossing on the Oste transporter bridge is highly recommended. It's also a truly impulsive sight.

Unfortunately, you have to walk this part of the way along the busy main road. But you have this wonderful view of the Oste with the old mill and the small sports boat harbor.

Beautiful stone church on a hill in the east lowlands. The church is open during the day. Simple, but impressive interior. Historic baptismal font carved out of rock. The names of the baptists stand above it. Tall trees surround the church. Next view to Hechthausen to the windmill. Only a few houses in Horst. Cemetery with 200 year old gravestones. The church is located on the Mönchsweg.

St. Mary's Church, Großenwörden

Highlight • Religious Site

The current St. Mary's Church was consecrated on May 22nd, 1636 according to the inscription above the eastern entrance door and is a simple, single-nave half-timbered building with a four-sided apse in the east and a wooden bell tower in the west. The weather vane on the tower bears the number 697 (probably referring to the year 1697). Source: Wikipedia.
The Marienkirche is on the Mönchsweg (long-distance cycle route) from Bremen to Denmark.

Here you have the best view of the old suspension bridge in the east and you can easily get over the Oste when the old suspension bridge is not in operation.

Lookout tower on the Hemmoorer Moorwiesen

The striking observation tower immediately catches the eye. What has ecologically developed on the “Hemmoorer Moorwiesen” between the railway line and Ostedeich over the past few years can be seen by looking from the tower over the site. The area, which has been ecologically upgraded and redesigned as a compensation area for berth 4 in the port of Cuxhaven, serves as an important habitat and resting area for various bird species. These include the common species such as the lapwing, the little ringed plover or the teal. In 32 of a total of 50 bird species, breeding evidence or suspected breeding was found, e.g. of the critically endangered teal duck.

Start and finish:
Parking at Stellberg Cemetery
from here a piece of road over the Oste to Hechthausen.
Turn right here, once to the Oste dike, then on farm roads between orchards and meadows to the Oste ferry.
If the ferry doesn't run, like me, cross the bridge next door.
Continue on roads and farm roads with little traffic past …
