Großer Flusspfad (Great River Trail) – Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Trail

This is a very romantic passage on the hike. Always next to the babbling Oertze and on a rustic, rooty single trail. There is still a lot to learn from the great signage!

Rest area and water-treading spot at the old mill

Highlight • Monument

Very nice old watermill. Behind the mill there is easy access to the Örtze. An invitation to cool off your legs on the soft sand in the river.

The tourist information center is located in the mill itself.

Örtze Rapids

Highlight • River

Here the Örtze gurgles and roars through an artificially created barrier, which gives the whole place some "drama". Very pretty.

October 2, 2023,Örtzebrücke – Örtze Stromschnellen Runde von Müden (Örtze)

We walked along the Örtzte through an enchanted area in light sunshine. Even the diversion of the path was well signposted, as a bridge over the Örtzte was closed.

The path is a real highlight 👌 I walked the big circular path. There also begins a heath loop, which I will walk in 2-3 weeks, because then many spring flowers will bloom there (23, 24 with yellow flowers, I don't know what they are called) A bridge is closed on the way, so you would have to take the …
