Barneführer Wood – Hunte Riverside Trail

The Hunte meanders along the edge of the forest and is bordered by steep banks. There the hiking trail leads along under rustic old trees. The eye cannot get enough of it, the impressions are so diverse.

As tempting as the small beach looks, it is absolutely forbidden to enter the river bank and the sandbank. And rightly so: nature has priority here! The entire course of the river, including the river banks, from Wildeshausen to Oldenburg is a designated nature reserve. Unfortunately, there is little to no local signage. So, so that we don't destroy endangered animals and plants, please stay on the paths and leave the river bank and sandbanks alone.

Ancient Beech Tree by the Bathing Bay

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful old beech tree that is right on the edge of the path to the bathing bay.
And please don't scratch any initials in the bark. I won't write my name on your forehead either!

The Forest Elephant

Highlight • Forest

Watch out for the elephant's trunk. He will welcome you. The rest of this huge animal seems to be under water in the Hunte ;-)

The flood at the turn of the year 2023/24 washed away a lot of sand on the banks of the Hunte. The river is wider than usual and still carries a lot of water. The dikes have been reopened and are easily accessible.
