Hiking

Hunte + Hunte oxbows
The Hunte is a 189 km long western tributary of the Weser in Lower Saxony * rises in the Wiehen Mountains (near Osnabrück), crosses the Dümmer, flows through the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park towards Oldenburg and flows into the Weser northwest of Bremen.
The Hunte is currently not yet ecologically continuous but a renaturation as has already happened with other bodies of water is being planned.
In the past, the Hunte was repeatedly changed in its course, which resulted in Hunte oxbows as can be seen here.

A nice place for a break. Anglers are often found here.
