ギルテンのおすすめツーリングルート

The Broom-Makers' Bridge was built in 1993 by the Marklendorf Broom-Makers' Guild. It connects the Aller Cycle Path alternative route between Marklendorf and Buchholz, and also connects the Marklendorf Circular Trail to the Buchholz Circular Trail. For cyclists, it is an important crossing point and a beautiful place to experience the Aller landscape. Right next to the bridge are the so-called Rieselwiesen (rain meadows), which were created in 1934. Initially by unemployed people from the city of Hanover, and later by the Reich Labor Service, they were intended to ensure sufficient irrigation of the Aller meadows. When the Aller barrage was built, the water level in the meadows below the weir dropped. To balance the water supply, a ditch was dug to regulate the water level. To this day, more or less water can be channeled over the meadows, causing the meadows to "trickle." On a cycle tour along the Aller, the Besenbinder Bridge is not only a practical crossing, but also an exciting place where the history of technology, traditional craftsmanship and landscape conservation come together.

Very beautiful to look at. When the weather is nice, you'll also find kayaks and stand-up boards out here ☀️🛶

The St. Matthew's Chapel in Bothmer was founded in 1610 by Abbot Conrad von Bothmer, based on a donation from Canon Otto von Bothmer. It initially served as a place of worship for both the castle and the congregation before being closed in 1791. The building was subsequently used as a granary for almost two centuries. It was not until 1981 that a comprehensive restoration was undertaken by Günther von Bothmer, with the support of the church, the district, and the monastery chamber. Today, the chapel is occasionally used for services and weddings.

The old needle weir with a lock is located near Hademstorf. At one point (in the upper water of the lock) you can still clearly see the ramps for the old ferry; this was right next to it for a long time and we were even ferried across on it in the 80s. Over the Hansa Dam and the old oil bridge you pass 2 horse-head pumps (one is somewhat hidden at the level of the visible pump in a path about 200 m away).

The beautiful old Bachstein Chapel of St. Matthäi in Bothmer is worth a short stop.

Very well preserved barn district in Ahlden. Some of the barns have been converted into residential buildings.
