The Bohrmeister-Hasenbein-Weg (Drillmaster Hasenbein Trail) in Wietze is a cultural-historical cycling and hiking trail dedicated to the history of oil production – a central chapter in the region's technological and industrial history. The trail is named after Friedrich Hasenbein, who initiated the oil boom in Wietze with a successful drilling operation in 1899. This drilling operation was so significant that it quickly transformed the town into one of Germany's most important oil-producing regions.

The trail leads through the former Wietze oil field and connects historic drilling and production facilities, some of which are still in their original condition. Particularly impressive is the 54-meter-high drilling tower from 1961, located on the grounds of the German Petroleum Museum – a central point of interest along the trail. The museum offers a comprehensive exhibition on the technical and social history of oil production and impressively conveys how closely life in Wietze was linked to oil production.

Information panels along the trail explain technical developments, historical events, and personal stories from the era of oil production. The Bohrmeister-Hasenbein Trail is also part of the R8 regional loop of the Aller Cycle Route, making it ideal for cyclists who want to combine culture with nature. The route leads through the charming landscape of the southern Lüneburg Heath and offers a unique interplay of technological history and recreation in nature.
