NORDPFAD Haxloher Erde

We start at Melkhus Fintel and walk on the green next to the asphalt road to the crossroads on the Wohlsberg. Here we turn left onto a country lane, which leads us 1.3 km along natural paths through the extensive fields and meadows of the Fintaumiederung... Once we reach the idyllic Fintaubrücke bridge, it is worth taking a short break. The 18.3 km long Heideflus rises in the Lüneburg Heath and flows into the Wümme near Lauenbrück. It is a habitat for numerous fish, such as sea trout and salmon.

Leaving the bridge behind us, we walk through the middle of the fields and enjoy the view of the Flurstück Langewiese. A paved path takes us to the next crossroads, where we turn left into the road Im Vieh. We follow the asphalted and later cobbled birch avenue on the adjacent grass verge. On the right-hand side of the path, the 43 m high Feienberg stands out from the Fintaun lowlands. On the other side of the path is a small marsh area, which is drained by the Florgraben, which we soon cross.

Following the next signpost, we walk east towards Feienbuschs Moor, cross the K221 and reach the Wiesenblick rest area. In front of us lies vast grassland. During a rest here and elsewhere in spring and fall, you can listen to the trumpet concert of numerous resting cranes. At the southern edge of Hammoor, we walk to the Hammoor woodland, turn right onto the cobbled road and follow the path to the next crossroads. On the left is the south-western part of the Upper Fintau Valley Nature Reserve, which protects a section of the eighteen-kilometre-long Fintau with its alder, birch and pine forests.

We follow the path and the Fintau to the west. The heath river winds its way hidden through a swamp forest. We can only catch a glimpse of the Fintau from time to time,

while on the other side of the path we have a wide view of the fields and farmland. Passing a biogas plant, we cross the K 221 again, pass a farm and continue straight ahead along the fine gravel path. A little way behind the Mühlenbachswiesen meadows, we leave the path and walk along the NORDPFAD in the direction of Fintel. We cross the Fintau again, reach the small settlement of Wohlsberg and finally reach our starting point, the Melkhus Fintel.

If you like, take a look at the open stables of the farm of the Aselmann family and refresh yourself in the milking parlor during the summer months. The 1.3 km detour to the center of Fintel is also worthwhile. In addition to places to stop for refreshments, shopping and overnight accommodation, the Heimathaus Schimmes Hoff with its beautiful garden and the open cycle path church St. Antonius can be visited.


Short variant
The short, family-friendly 4.5 km variant, which takes around 1 1/2 hours. leads from Melkhus Fintel via Wohlsdorf to the Fintaubrücke bridge. From the following Langewiese, however, it does not go to the road "Im Vieh", but directly to Fintau and from there back to Melkhus Fintel.


Networking with other NORDPFADEN:
