You won't believe it, but instead of rain there's blue skies and sunshine. It doesn't get any better than this time of year.

April 4, 2025,Wilde Geest zu Fuß: Goldhortweg 🪙🎗️📿🔭

The Golthortweg trail from the "Wild Geest on Foot" hiking series offers two truly amazing highlights: the Syke District Museum, which also houses the Gessel Gold Hoard Forum, and the observation tower on the Hohen Berg, which offers a beautiful view all the way to Bremen. However, the paths to both highlights are rather substandard: wide, partially asphalt-heavy, and not …

We found it a bit unfortunate that you first have to walk 2.5 km, mainly through a settlement, to the start of the actual Goldhortweg and at the end the same 2.5 km back again

A little detour on the way back from Bremen. The Syke District Museum is absolutely worth a visit, the Goldhortweg didn't completely convince me, lots of asphalt, few trails. But maybe I'm just ready for spring 🤔😉

We walk in the footsteps of gold. The gold hoard trail revolves around Gessel's sensational find of gold.

The Goldhortweg near Syke is one of the Wilde Geest hiking trails.

Tip: tberg.de/wanderregion-wilde-geest

The starting point for us is the car park at the Syke District Museum. Here, among other things, parking strips are available directly on the B6.

The "Gessel Gold Treasure"
The gold hoard, named after the place where it was found, consists of 117 individual parts. According to current research, these were made a good 3300 years ago, i.e. in the Middle Bronze Age. They are a brooch (garment clasp), two bracelets and 114 spirals of different sizes. The majority of the find consists of eight …

This trail isn't what I consider hiking.
70% asphalt and 30% good.
But we don't always have to complain 😎😂
