ヴェスターシュテーデのおすすめランニングルート

The Thalenweide was formerly a cattle pasture with the Thalen family's farm buildings. In 1913, the municipality of Westerstede acquired this area. Plans included building the town hall here, but things turned out differently. Today, the Thalenweide is a small "city park" that features, among other things, a 350-year-old oak tree. Westerstede artist Alice Peters-Ohsam also created a memorial here for those who fell in the two World Wars. The water tower was built in 1933 to supply Westerstede with water. After the Oldenburg-East Frisian Water Association took over the water supply, the water tower was decommissioned in 1967. An investor bought the tower for the symbolic price of one mark and converted it in 1979 into an eight-story residential tower with a café.

It seems like a very nice park. Unfortunately, I didn't have any change with me, so I couldn't visit it.

The cakes and pies are so good that it's even worth making a detour to the café.

There is now an admission charge to visit the Park of Rarities. Currently €3 (as of May 2025).

Café Land Leben is a relatively new café that opened in 2023 in Westerstede - Linswege.

Unfortunately, I didn't meet my sweetheart. :-(

A beautiful rest area with a forest lake. A must-stop here. Simply wonderful.
