Barneführer Wood – Hunte Riverside Trail

Highlight • 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.

Tributary of the Hunte

The tributaries of the Hunte were previously used for mining. With the invention of artificial fertilizer, this type of fertilization lost its importance.

Beautiful route on the Hunte. Unfortunately I didn't see the kingfisher here either, but according to several statements the birdie exists here.

Today's hike starts in Sandhatten. This place has the character of a clustered village. The corridor shape characterizes a closed built village with irregular plot of land and courtyards of often different sizes. These villages were mostly laid out on an unscheduled basis. Located in the district of Oldenburg, Sandhatten was first mentioned in 1240, the place name has been …

Today, I was finally back on the trail with my hiking friends Sandra and Frieda after a long time 🥾.
In the beautiful green Barneführer Forest along the Hunte River.
Although the Hunte River was carrying very little water at the time, it was precisely this calm, tranquil flow that enhanced the idyllic character of our hike.
Especially in the …

Great tour, the landscape along the Hunte River is magnificent, with ancient beech trees, almost giants, lining the path. Part of the trail leads over a dike; dogs are allowed here, but only outside of grazing season! Signs indicate this. Please adhere to these guidelines; there aren't many opportunities like this anymore. Please respect the owners so we can continue …

It's always beautiful along the Hunte in the Barnefuhrer Holz nature reserve! We were here in November 2020, but this time we walked the path along the Hunte to the road bridge. The way there is wild and beautiful, but the way back on the other side of the Hunte is even more adventurous, always hard along the abyss and …

Since the first discovery, the Barnefuhrerholz has been our favorite forest, especially the paths along the Hunte. And that's why we're often out and about here, but apart from Hunte and Osenberge we haven't seen much of this large forest area. We'll catch up on that at some point.
The autumn colors make it particularly beautiful today and we enjoy …

Pure nature awaits hikers in the Barnefuhrer Holz nature reserve north-west of Sandhatten. The beautiful forest and wet meadow area is located in the Huntetal. The river meanders here through partly ancient, gnarled trees, marshes and wet meadows.
