Im Buckelfehn

Highlight • Natural

Good route to be driven, be careful not to stray from the path (slabs). Especially when it has rained, the path next to the slabs is slippery. It should work!

Börstel Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The former Cistercian convent is an impressive place of rest. Beautiful old buildings in scenic surroundings. The 700 year old linden trees in front of the church were particularly impressive.
