🌊 Special features: At Tungeln, the river's course is regulated by the Tungeln weir. Historically, this is the point where the Hunte River was divided to protect the city of Oldenburg from flooding and to allow shipping.

A very lovingly decorated shop. They sell jam, eggs, cakes, cookies, and more. The spelt cookies were a great hiking snack 😋

Wildeshausen was more important than Oldenburg in the Middle Ages and received Bremen town charter in 1270. After belonging to the Diocese of Bremen, it then became part of the Diocese of Münster in the late Middle Ages, then Brunswick-Lüneburg in 1678, and then the Duchy of Oldenburg in 1803. The one- and two-story Gothic brick building, facing St. Alexander's Church and oriented north-south, with a gable roof, dates back to the 14th century. The interior was remodeled in the 1930s; the extensions are more recent, the council chamber is essentially 16th century, and the fire station probably dates back to the 18th century. Both were largely rebuilt between 1934 and 1936, while the guardhouse was probably rebuilt at the end of the 19th century, after 1936. The upper hall now serves as an event space.

The Hunte flows near Tungeln, a district of the municipality of Wardenburg, and can be used for canoeing and SUP tours, for example, on the scenic stretch between Wardenburg and Tungeln, which leads through a nature reserve. The river is known for its diverse landscapes, with sandbanks, forests, and embankments, and there are various entry points, such as the Hunte Bridge in Tungeln.
