    Cycling

    The Oltmannsberg (O-Berg for short) near Ostrittrum, which is designated as a natural monument, is an inland dune that was created by wind drifts after the Ice Age.
    After climbing the few meters in altitude, you suddenly find yourself in a completely different landscape. The nutrient-poor sandy soil has given rise to heather and dry sandy grassland. To preserve this beautiful natural monument, the area is regularly maintained and sheep are grazed there.
    The rest area at the foot of the Düne is currently besieged by giant forest ants, which are one of the most protected animal species in Germany.

    Hiking

    The Oltmannberg is a relic from the last Ice Age. It is a sand dune on the eastern bank of the Hunte River. Due to the low nutrient levels, dry sandy grasslands and heathland thrive here, providing a beautiful habitat for insects.

    This inland dike, which was created by wind drifts during the Ice Age, is a protected natural monument. Care and conservation is carried out through sheep grazing.
