There is a free NABU app for the ox moor. This is a great way to identify birds. If you have binoculars, you should definitely take them with you.

Historic Coal Mining in the Sunderner Hügel

Highlight • Historical Site

You might wonder why parts of the Sundern hill look like they're covered in bomb craters!

But that's not the case. Coal was mined here in the 19th century (see the sign on site or the photo here).

September 19, 2024,19.9.24 Schloss Ippenburg + Schloss Hünnefeld: Runde von Hüde

This incredibly large weeping willow stands in front of Ippenburg Castle. A dream!!!

Beautiful cross-country cycle paths with a general direction of Bad Essen was our destination.

The two castles are in between, unfortunately we found them outside of opening hours.

It was fantastic and definitely worth repeating!

The weather was great: what more could you want?

A visit to the delicatessen is also worthwhile. Beautiful tour to the Dumber. Unfortunately, you are no longer allowed to cycle on the promenade directly on the Dümmer there on weekends. But still a nice round about the villages. …
