Incredibly beautiful. Bicycle tour from Stade via Apensen back to Stade through the lower Estetal. So much beautiful nature and the cycle paths are also manageable, now and then it gets a bit uneven but it's doable. A short section runs directly along the road. Great places to take a break are available along the route. E.g. at the fishing water of Horneburg in the lower Estetal. There the place is dedicated to the North German poet: Johann D. Bellmann from Nindorf. *08.05.1930 - 25.06.2006

The wedding forest in the municipality of Heidenau has been growing steadily for decades. The first planting took place in 1991 – by couples who were married in 1990. Today, the forest covers approximately 30,000 square meters and now comprises almost 400 trees, including 60 fruit trees in an idyllic orchard.

A hike along the Este dike is highly recommended: a beautiful circular walk. Spring or autumn are best. In the height of summer, there's no shade. You'll be treated to various views of the surrounding nature, the Este River, and the thatched-roof houses. There are plenty of benches for taking a short break. The lock house is also very interesting and worth a visit 👍🏼.

At 65 meters above sea level, the Litberg is the highest elevation in the Stade district. The Gauß observation tower is located in the middle of the forest. Climbing 133 steps, you'll be rewarded with a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. Plenty of benches invite you to linger, and there are swings for children.
