I love these narrow trails. They're kind of rustic. Lots of roots (be careful during/after rain), and they always run along the Wulbeck River, which is dry in many places (September 12th).

The bridge is slowly falling apart. Be careful: there are loose screws! You can also walk alongside it at the moment, as there's hardly any water here.

The village of Engensen belonged to the Gau Flutwide (District of Flutewide). Each Gau had a pagan cult site. Important assemblies and courts were held at this Thingstätte (place of worship). These judgments were binding for all residents of the Gau. From here, you can see the Thingstätte area straight ahead. It still bears the name "Wundergarten" (Wundergarten).
