Hamme River

Highlight • River

It's just nice to drive on the gravel road along the Hamme and enjoy the peace and quiet. Tietjens Hütte and Melchers Hütte are ideal for taking a break.

Osterholz Harbor and Mill on the Harn

Highlight • Historical Site

A bit surprising to find a not so small port on the flat land. But from here you can sail across a canal to Hamme and from there into the wide world ⚓️

I was inspired by Burkhard because we don't know this area that well. I think his photos are great 😊, "only" the stretch on the road wasn't really that great. The sky and the clouds were particularly beautiful today ☁️. We will certainly explore the area further, bike tours are certainly nice there too 🚲

Contrary to all forecasts, the sun broke through early on Sunday. Finally! So hurry up to Osterholz-Scharmbeck. The Hamme and the Osterholzer Hafenkanal should be the focus of the hike today. We started at Tietjens Hütte, today a well-frequented restaurant, located directly on the Hamme. The Hamme knows nothing but eternally flat land. It flows its entire 48 km very …

It didn't stay that way the whole time, every now and then there were clouds in front of the sun, and every now and then …
