ヴィンケルゼットのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

When the heather is in bloom, it's a beautiful landscape, but it's also always charming at other times.

Around 1938, Dietrich Schwarting built a sheepfold on his property at the Pestrup burial ground. He began breeding Heidschnucke sheep and thus acquired a flock, which he tended at the burial ground. After Dietrich Schwarting's death, his son Georg continued the breeding. The sheepfold became dilapidated and too small. The large flock could no longer be accommodated in the sheepfold. The Düngstrup Local History Society planned to build a new sheepfold in 1968. In order to be independent of Schwarting, the building had to be constructed on a different property. On Saturday, February 22, 1969, the new building was handed over to Schwarting, the shepherd, in the presence of many honored guests. In April 1973, disagreements arose with the shepherd. Schwarting sold the flock and his property to emigrate to Canada. At intervals, several shepherds took over the Pestrup burial ground with their flocks. On April 10, 1976, the sheepfold burned down (children playing). After several discussions, it was decided to rebuild the sheepfold. The topping-out ceremony was held on October 15, 1976. Many shepherds followed suit. On August 18, 1981, a barn for straw, fodder, and hay was built behind the sheepfold. Afterward, the sheepfold was no longer used. Politicians suggested another use, which the local history society did not approve. The forestry administration now takes over grazing the burial ground and finds a suitable herd of Heidschnuck sheep in Wagenfeld-Ströhen. The Teerling family, from the Teerling shepherd's farm, makes the herd available twice a year. This is how the three-way alliance works: Teerling the sheep, the forestry office the burial ground, and the Düngstrup local history society the sheepfold complex. On the night of February 26, 1981, the sheepfold was taken over. On February 27, 2011, the sheepfold burned down again (arson). The local history society was not discouraged and began rebuilding. On May 12, 2012, the sheepfold was dedicated with an ecumenical service. Source: https://heimatverein-duengstrup.de/der-schafkoben-auf-dem-pestruper-graeberfeld/

The entire area is heavily waterlogged and partly impassable. A nature reserve. In places, shallow peat bogs are cut by farmers. Paths are overgrown and mostly impassable. Remains of old Hunte River loops with open water.

The heath is in full bloom. August and September are the best months to enjoy this splendor.

Beautiful - and a little scary

Beautiful lonely road to drive

The "entrance" to a beautiful route towards Wildeshausen.

The Flachsbäke is simply beautiful. Here, the stream is still free to flow as it pleases.
