ヴィーデンザールの天然記念物・トップ20

I was amazed by this huge collection of beautiful boulders. All carefully placed. And then there's the great barbecue hut in the middle. Hats off to what the people here have created.

The lake landscape near Hävern is a beautiful nature reserve in the natural area of the Wesertal between the districts of Hävern and Großenheerse in the town of Petershagen. The area extends over 104 hectares and is part of the EC bird sanctuary "Weseraue". The former gravel ponds are now biotopes for water birds and offer a picturesque backdrop for walks and exploration.

The forest area of the Loccum Monastery (approx. 650 ha) is located about ten kilometers west of Lake Steinhude and comprises six sub-areas (forest locations) of different sizes. The majority are located in Lower Saxony (Nienburg district), a smaller part belongs to North Rhine-Westphalia (Minden-Lübbecke district). The forest largely falls under the category of "historically old forest locations". Alternating forest landscapes and a well-developed, park-like path system make the monastery forest an experience for every visitor. Source: https://www.kloster-loccum.de/das-kloster/klosterforst

The lake landscape around Hävern is fascinating. Over the years, a unique wet biotope with an unbelievable variety of flora and fauna has emerged from the quarry ponds of yesteryear. And right in the middle is the pretty Weser village of Hävern with well-kept farms, lively cultural life and many storks.

This is a really weird place. Dozens maybe hundreds of boulders lie around in the forest unasked. The plaque by the refuge sheds some light on the story.

In contrast to the Lahde weir crossing with its horribly steep ramp on the Petershäger side, the weir at Schlüsselburg is a beautiful and comfortable way to cross the Weser. And the panoramic view over the Weser to the north and south is just awesome. If the sky is clear, you can see as far south as Kaiser Wilhelm. And to the north the long brightness before and after Midsummer.👍😊

The boulder forest is almost inconspicuous and mystical
