ハンテ/ハーフェンオルデンバーグのおすすめツーリングルート

🚢 The Oldenburg Lock is a key transportation hub for shipping in the region and is located directly next to the Upper Hunte hydroelectric power plant. The lock is situated in an area of great importance for water management, as it also contains the weir for regulating the water level and the aforementioned hydroelectric power plant for energy generation.

🚴‍♀️The route is considered easy to moderately difficult and, due to its mostly flat terrain, is very well suited for families and leisure cyclists. You'll cycle through the wide, flat Wesermarsch region, the bike-friendly city of Oldenburg, and the rolling hills, forests, and heathlands of the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park.

🚴‍♀️ 🚴‍♀️ Along the Hunte River, there is a very popular and well-signposted long-distance cycle route, the Hunte Cycle Path. This cycle path offers a varied route through diverse natural landscapes in Lower Saxony.

🚢 The confluence of the Hunte, Küstenkanal and Osternburger Kanal forms an important hydrological junction in Oldenburg, which is of central importance for shipping, water level regulation and nature conservation.

🌊 The Haaren River flows into the Hunte River in Oldenburg, which in turn flows into the Weser River and then into the North Sea. The exact location where the Haaren flows into the Hunte is known in Oldenburg as the area around the Haaren sluice and estuary pumping station. This structure regulates the water level and protects the city from flooding.

...and after your hike or bike ride, head to Hafenhaus Oldenburg. It's really nice there and the selection is great. You can find more information here: https://www.hafenhaus-oldenburg.de/joomla3/.

When the weather is nice it can get crowded.

Beautiful cycle path to ride.
