폴하겐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

Everything very nice to see

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

Display boards provide information about the monastic pond economy.

A beautiful bird watching tower on the edge of the Seawreck Meadows. On site, some information boards explain the former extent of the Steinhude Sea. In fact, 6000 years ago you would have been standing right on the water here. You can sit on the small tower and calmly let your gaze wander over the moors in front of the Rehburg mountains. It is particularly worthwhile in winter with the wild geese.

The Klosterforst Sundern is a forest area south of the Loccum monastery. Several, mostly natural, forest paths or paths lead through it. In addition to a herd of cattle and the Luccaburg in the south, the water management of the Cistercians is particularly noteworthy and can still be experienced. The water of the Fulde was used in a clever way via ditches and dams. For example, there are water crossings at different heights to feed water reserves. For the monastery, the Cistercians sometimes even laid an underground sewage system, as well as different ditches to keep service water separate from waste water. The bridal pond and the baking pond are still preserved as large ponds. The Backteich is higher than the level of the parallel Fulde.

The animals can be easily observed from the viewing platforms without disturbing them.

There is an information board here that describes the sea break then and now. Not far from the tower, traces of a civilization presumably from around 10,000 BC have been found in our day.

A wonderful route. A dream of a landscape.
