The lower Este valley is a dreamlike beautiful hiking area and also recommended for bike tours. A visit is recommendable and interesting at the same time 👍🏼.

Traunhaft beautiful. Bicycle tour from Stade via Apensen to Stade through the lower Estetal. So much beautiful nature and the cycle paths are also manageable, from time to time it gets a bit uneven but it is doable. A short section runs directly along the road. Great resting places are available on 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 *08.05.1930 - 25.06.2006

Since 1968, the railway line between Bremervörde and Buchholz (Nordheide) has been largely closed, and the railway embankment is often barely recognizable. However, four impressive brick viaducts in the Hollenstedt area remain as a reminder. They were built along with the line between 1899 and 1902 to allow the railway to cross the deep stream valleys. These characteristic ridges were formed during the Saale Glaciation.

Cute bridge with a nice path in both directions. Dogs can easily access the water for swimming or drinking.

Beautiful at sunset. There are small paths on both sides so you can also look around on the other side. There are even safety ropes on the right side to hold on to.
