A very beautiful place

It's wonderful when the larkspurs make a guest appearance on the Waldbühne stage, delighting the audience with their splendid blossoms. The performances are free, absolutely worth seeing, and—as every year—scheduled to run until the end of April.

Very solidly built 👍

Great bike tour

Beautiful cycle path through the nature reserve on the Weser. The marsh landscape is characterized by regular flooding and is a habitat for many different animal species.

The place on the “Große Aue” has been the location of the mill since 1298. At this time the mill served purely as a grain mill for grinding grain. In 1859 a sawmill was added to the grain mill, and the floodplain now powered four mill wheels. A comprehensive renovation took place in 1913, during which the water wheels were replaced by a turbine. After mill operations stopped in the 1970s, the turbine continues to run and generate electricity today.

The "Drakenburger Marsch" still shows clear traces of the river bend marsh, a form of land use that was once typical for the entire Wesermarsch. In addition to its cultural and historical significance, this type of landscape, which has become rare, offers a habitat and retreat for vulnerable and endangered animal and plant species and communities due to its structural diversity. The species-rich, well-preserved hedges and their herbaceous fringe are of very high ecological importance as a habitat for numerous, sometimes rare, vertebrates, birds and small mammals. The grassland, which is partly characterized by flood troughs and is regularly flooded, represents an important refuge for organisms bound to temporary bodies of water and offers resting and feeding opportunities, especially for Nordic birds migrating after floods. The remaining wet grassland is also important as a food habitat for the white stork. https://www.lk-nienburg.de/portal/seiten/naturschutzgebiet-drakenburger-marsch-901001074-21500.html
