Krickenbecker Seen and Kleiner De Wittsee

The Krickenbecker See is wonderful to walk around or cycle around. Here and there are the small paths to the fishing piers, which give charming views of the lake.

Venekotensee

The bike path between Venekotensee and Schwalm is perhaps the more attractive one, but on the other hand it is no less beautiful.

Galgenvenn Heidemoore Ponds

It's a great tour. For one, it is very scenic and on the other hand, it has here and there to offer ups and downs (which is the otherwise flat Lower Rhine) not so common. An absolute treat.

Hühnerkamp nature reserve

A heathland landscape with bushes and trees, as well as different types of flowers. The landscape is beautiful in every season. You can enjoy a break on the benches set up.

Brachter Wald Nature Reserve

The paths in the former ammunition depot of the British Armed Forces are now in very good condition for all types of bicycles. The surrounding nature is characterized by forest and heathland. A visit is always worthwhile.

Fischaufstiegsanlage Ferkensbruch

The fish ladder was completed in 2013 and replaced a dam from the 1960s. It should allow fish to overcome the height difference of 1.5 meters.
