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."

Not much is known about the burial mound, but since it stands alone, it is assumed that it initially served as a single burial place for an important person and that it was therefore built around 2000 BC.

Here is the intersection point between the first (Osnabrück-Bippen) and second (Bippen-Kronensee) official stages of the "Osnabrücker Land Bikepacking Route" for overnight stays. https://komoot.de/collection/1294540. I've created five day tours (train/bike) from this route.

It is the old railway embankment of the former Oberhausen-Rheine-Fürstenau-Quakenbrück railway line, the route of which is still clearly visible on satellite images.

Very nice hiking trails, also suitable for children.
