Directions
The circular tour starts in the middle of Bremervörde at the St. Liborius Church and leads in an anti-clockwise direction past the Bachmann Museum through the small Vorwerk forest, one of Bremervörde's local recreation areas. You cross the small Bach Bever stream and follow the cycle path next to the district road towards Minstedt. Shortly before the small village, the Tempelberg and the drinking water nature trail offer a welcome opportunity for a short breather before the tour continues from Minstedt to Plönjeshausen.
After extensive meadows and fields, you finally reach Plönjeshausen. At the end of the small village, you will find an idyllic home. Shortly behind it, you enter the impressive Beverner Forest. Enjoy the tour through the shady deciduous and mixed forest and listen to the sounds of nature, away from the background noise that usually surrounds us. Don't be surprised if you hear the murmur of a stream. The forest is criss-crossed by numerous streams that flow towards the Bever. The western and southern part is also a nature reserve and offers an ideal habitat for animals and birds thanks to the remaining old and dead wood.
The last stage takes you via Hesedorf, past the church and home and along the Horner Holz, back to Bremervörde. Take a look at the sports boat harbor and the Oste before returning to the starting point.
After the tour, the Vörder See lake, the nature and adventure park, the pedestrian zone or the Delphino family pool offer a nice end to the tour.
