Werre Riverside, Bad Oeynhausen

Highlight • River

It is probably one of the most beautiful sections of the Werre. The boats in front of the weekend houses create a fantastic picture. It's beautiful to ride the bike path on both sides.

Spatzenberg

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

There are various trails on Spatzenberg, mostly running north-south. The paved paths lead through the beautiful forest. If visibility is good, the eastern dirt road is recommended. The compromise of limited comfort (condition, gradient) is rewarded with a magnificent view!
