Very nice with lots of water. Unfortunately there is horse poop everywhere.

The Gretesch Castle once stood here, and an information board provides information about its history and archaeological findings. Today there is a view over a beautiful valley with grazing horses, wet meadows and ponds populated by all kinds of water birds.

Wikipedia (07-2020): "From the end of the 13th century to the end of the 15th century there was a fortified castle in the northeastern part of the municipality, whose artificially raised, rectangular inner surface was completely surrounded by a multi-part moat (graft). On the north side was The castle was in the possession of the noble family of the same name until the 14th century and was sold to the Wüllneramt in Osnabrück in 1457. With the decline of the Osnabrück cloth industry in the late 18th century, the Wüllneramt was forced to give the castle to the City of Osnabrück for sale. [10] After their task, the entire area was leveled, so today only individual bumps can be seen in the vicinity of the Schoeller paper mill. [11] which is also no longer available today. [12] "
