One can assume that without the Hamme river, Worpswede and the Teufelsmoor would not have developed as we know it today. The Hamme runs through part of the extensive moorland that was created in a shallow lake over a period of around 10,000 years after the last ice age. Until the lock in Ritterhude was built in 1876, water was able to flow unhindered into parts of the moorland via the Weser and its tributaries. The construction of a lock in earlier times shows the importance of the Hamme.

Hiking

The peat boats sail on the Hamme and the skippers tell interesting stories about life in the Teufelsmoor in earlier times.
