    Hiking

    The Schwinge Bridge near Wiepenkathen is located in the Schwinger Wiesen nature reserve 💚. It offers a great shortcut from Stade to Wiepenkathen. A hiking and cycling trail leads across the bridge. From the bridge, there is a magnificent view of the Schwinge River. Park benches are available for taking a break. A jetty has been built for canoeing or stand-up paddleboarding. Anglers also try their luck here from time to time. Many dog walkers also enjoy walking their dogs in this area.

    Schwingetal Stade:

    The Schwinge River is approximately 29 kilometers long. It rises between Elm and Mulsum and flows into the Elbe River near Stadersand. The river winds its way in large loops (meanders) all the way to Stade, truly living up to its name. The Schwingetal valley stretches across the wide river valley with its wetlands, riparian forests, marshes, and streams from Hagen to the Hanseatic city of Stade. It is a popular destination for day trips. The Barger Heide heathland is also located in the Schwingetal valley. A visit is wonderful at any time of year.
