From here on it would become swampy...

An overview map of the moorland areas in the entire region from Osnabrück to Bremen. It's amazing how many moorland areas there are here.

Nice excursion destination. Cycling is prohibited on the lake on Sundays😪

For me the best tower with a great view of the Dümmer.

The Dümmer North Shore observation tower offers a beautiful view of the lake. The Hunte River outflow is right next door!

Neolithic era At the end of the second settlement phase of Hüde I - around 3300 to 3200 BC. BC - people from a different culture built the moorland settlement Hunte 1 on a slightly rising hill on the Hunte, which flows north of the Dümmer. This place was discovered in 1934 when the Hunte was being straightened and was systematically excavated between 1938 and 1940 by Hans Reinerth, then head of the Reich Office for Prehistory. In 2000, the excavation documents and found material scattered during the Second World War were reassembled and scientifically evaluated as part of a research project at the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover.

Paleolithic era The oldest human presence on the Dümmer so far is proven by a harpoon tip that was fished out of the Dümmer in 1887. It was made by people of the Paleolithic period who hunted the reindeer in the Dümmer lowlands in the then treeless tundra of the Bölling Interstadial of the Vistula Ice Age 15,000 years ago. With the rise in temperatures around 12,000 years ago, nature changed on the Dümmer: birch and pine forests expanded, more hardwoods were added, and large and small game became native - an ideal basis for life for the people of the Mesolithic. A barbed tip, perhaps a harpoon tip - found near Lemförde in 1973 - confirms the presence of these Mesolithic people as early as the end of the Vistula Ice Age, because using the C14 method the tip was dated to 11,000 years before our time.
