The Aue meanders through the Auetal. In many places, the path runs directly along the floodplain, some bridges cross it. If you take your time, you can discover a lot of nature here and switch off from the hustle and bustle. Several entrances lead to the Auetal nature reserve. Parking lots are easily accessible here and there. Geest ridges limit the elongated valley on both sides. Natural history tours are repeatedly offered in the local press.
