Tips from the Community
The Rittergut Streithorst was intended to secure the borderland against the counties of Tecklenburg and Oldenburg, which in turn also wanted to claim local territories. Initially, the Streithorst family lived here from 1304 onwards. The current building, however, dates from 1864 and is set back slightly, so it is not easily visible from the road. The Rittergut is today owned by a member of the noble family von Bussche-Hünnefeld.

As a hiker, you are more of a nuisance on this section of the path, as the path along the Hunte is a designated cycle path. Nevertheless, it is beautiful here and there are also more than enough resting places.

Streithorst Manor Remains of this castle still exist. The Streithorst manor was the ancestral seat of a family of the same name, first documented in 1304. In 1862, the old Streithorst manor house, a simple one-story structure, was demolished. A new manor house was built in 1864 using its stones and those of the Schweger manor house, which had also been demolished. The manor house was destroyed by fire in 1992. All that remains is a round sandstone Renaissance fountain.

The varied landscape of the former Wittlage district is rich in charm. Streams originate in the densely wooded ridges of the Wiehen Hills, flowing north into a fertile plain. In the border zone between the hills and the North German Plain, they drive the wheels of old stone or half-timbered mills. The water-rich Hunte River is crossed by bridges, some of which are medieval, with rounded arches built of silvery limestone. In the north of the district, the Hunte flows through the moors and meadows of a large, silted-up lake, the Dümmer. Its extensive nature reserve is home to rare flora and fauna.

The lake was created from a sand and gravel pit operated by the building materials manufacturer quick-mix in 1964. Its name is derived from the Low German term for cranes.[
