オスターカッペルンの天然記念物・トップ20

The approximately 30 boulders made of gneiss and granite are the remains of two megalithic tombs that once stood side by side on this site. Many megalithic tombs have been destroyed over time. Some of the vandalism is certainly due to the superstition of people who viewed the megalithic tombs as pagan monuments. They believed they could only have been built with the help of the devil. With the onset of industrialization, the boulders were blasted to obtain building materials for roads and buildings. The stones were even sold to coastal regions, where they were used to build dikes and harbors.

When you come out of the town: At the entrance to the Meyerhof in Oestringen, to the left are the meadows up to the Nette. On the right side it climbs quite steeply, somewhere along the way you will see the ruins of the Wittekindsburg.

European bird sanctuary with rewetted wet grassland, important breeding area for meadow birds and resting area for geese.

Very well-preserved dinosaur tracks. The additional features, including two "real" dinosaurs and numerous information panels, liven things up. Absolutely worth a visit for dinosaur fans of all ages!

Magnificent bird watching area south of the Dümmer.

Very nice area, from time to time you even see storks.

A destination for young and old dinosaur fans

The Nettetal to Rulle is passable without any effort and is beautiful.
