Örtze Rapids

Highlight • River

Here the Örtze gurgles and roars through an artificially created barrier, which gives the whole place some "drama". Very pretty.

Großer Flusspfad (Great River Trail) – Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Trail

This is a very romantic passage on the hike. Always next to the babbling Oertze and on a rustic, rooty single trail. There is still a lot to learn from the great signage!

We started in the center of Müden at Heidesee to get to Poitzen. In Poitzen there is an educational trail for children but most of the stations no longer work. Then we went back along the Örtze.

April 11, 2024,Runde um Poitzen über Oertzeweg - Müden - Heidesee

Once again we were in one of our favorite areas, the Lüneburg Heath. This time in Poitzen and Müden/Oertze. The first few meters of the path were a little muddy, but then everything was fine.

April 14, 2023,Müden an der Örze, grosser Rundweg

The path is a real highlight 👌 I walked the big circular path. There also begins a heath loop, which I will walk in 2-3 weeks, because then many spring flowers will bloom there (23, 24 with yellow flowers, I don't know what they are called) A bridge is closed on the way, so you would have to take the …

Autumn hike 🍂🍃 along the Heidesee on the Örtze Trail.
I'd had this hike on my agenda for a long time, and the finally bright, sunny ☀️ weather was perfect for it today!
The lighting was a bit odd for photos 😂
The path was quite rooty in places, and at one point I even lost the trail and got …

October 2, 2023,Örtzebrücke – Örtze Stromschnellen Runde von Müden (Örtze)

We walked along the Örtzte through an enchanted area in light sunshine. Even the diversion of the path was well signposted, as a bridge over the Örtzte was closed. I didn't find any real rapids, but I did find a quiet path with lots of water. Here, too, the surface was very nice and soft to walk on, just like …

We walked the adventure trail instead of Heidschnuckenweg after the nice lady in the information center gave us the tip, it was worth it, beautiful route, seen a lot 😉

What begins almost "like a park" at Heidesee in Müden winds its way through enchanted paths through the forest and along the Örtze. A great lap ... always with little Frieda, of course
