An impressive lock on the Weser River. If you're lucky, you might see a ship passing through.

The wonderful Storchennest Inn in Estorf hosts weddings and other celebrations. It offers a very beautiful setting for a relaxing stay. The Eichhof farm was once located here. Anno 1520 Lower Saxony Cultural Monument Today, it houses a barn, the view of which has been beautifully preserved.

A little info from the internet: From the outside, the church, built in 1696, is a simple half-timbered church. Inside, it features a magnificent Baroque pulpit altar and an imposing depiction of the Last Judgment in the sanctuary. There's also a Baroque-style baptismal font dating from 1714.
