ケッテンカンプのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

A highlight in Ankum is the lake of the same name.

Magnificent view from the moss hut.

So much nature where you least expect it!

For local recreation

The Mooshütte is a wonderful resting place.

The gorge systems, called Tangen, are typical of this area, which is now a nature reserve. Tang is Low German and means "pincer" or "branch." The term describes the waterways that originated in the Maiburg and cut deep, branching valleys into the terminal moraine landscape. An information board on site provides detailed information about the formation of the Ankum Heights and the Maiburger Tangen.

This is where the fox's trail through the Maiburg begins. The Maiburg is a 1,000-hectare forest area, over half of which is managed by the Lower Saxony State Forests. The forest nature trail, which begins here, was created in 1968 in close cooperation with the municipality of Bippen. The Vosspäddken - the fox's trail - explains some of the special features of the forest, nature, and forestry. The fox symbol shows the way.

The "Witches' Dance Ground" is located on the Qualenberg (Torment Mountain). It was believed that witches, the devil's servants, held their pagan festivals at this spot. The May celebrations on Walpurgis Night may have given the mountain its name "Maiberg," today "Maiburg."
