Hiking
Your hike along the Wasserbaum Trail begins at the Ockensen bus stop and leads you through a landscape of open meadows, old orchards, and shady forest paths. You'll soon reach the Ith Ridge Trail, from where you'll enjoy beautiful views of the Leinebergland. Once at the top, you'll see the Ith Cliffs – rugged sandstone formations known as a popular climbing area.
A special highlight of the tour is the Wasserbaum natural monument. This over 100-year-old geological phenomenon was created by highly calcareous springs that, over time, formed mossy sinter terraces. The constantly growing limestone crust makes the Wasserbaum appear almost like a sculpture, making it a unique natural wonder. Rare plant species adapted to the calcareous subsoil also thrive in this protected wetland.
The trail continues along nature trails that provide fascinating insights into the topics of "water" and "orchards." Enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of this special landscape before finally returning to Ockensen.

Occasionally there was no path where the Weserbergland app wanted to send us and once we missed the turnoff. In some places the path leads through tall nettles. You should be sure-footed on the sometimes steep paths.
