Nature conservation and endangered nature. Start: "Böttcherei" in Weyhe
First, we walk towards the Schlatt until we reach the footbridge and take a look at the water. We return and walk clockwise around the area, i.e. a short distance back along the road towards Leeste, then keep to the right and walk around the "moor" on a narrow path. On the opposite side, we come directly to the water, where there is also an explanatory board on the formation of this body of water.
After a short rest on the bench, we go back a little way and use a small path to the right between two plots of land, which leads us to the "Rumpsfelder Heide". Here we keep right, then right again at the next corner and are now at the former transformer house, which is now a refuge for bats and owls, and follow a grassy path for a short distance. At the end, we keep left and head towards the next small wooded area. We cross it to the road "Hinter dem Feld" and return between the edge of the forest and the meadow.
Now we do not take the grassy path back to the road, but go into the small wood, immediately to the right and at the end turn right again to the transformer house. Opposite, we pass a wooden barrier and enter a nature trail that leads us back to the starting point. Sturdy footwear is recommended.
This walk can be extended as desired by taking a longer route and walking through the Leester meadows. We see a Schlatt, a depression formed in the Ice Age without a drain, which is now threatened by drying out. There are also remnants of forest strips that separated areas from each other and new afforestation with conifers, oaks, birches and beeches that were created here as compensation areas. These plantings are to be extended as far as the Melchiorshauser Fuhren. A short forest nature trail has been created parallel to the road. The Nabu station is open once a month on Sundays during the summer months; dates are published in the newspaper or on the municipality's website. Guided tours are also possible on other dates by prior arrangement.
The tour can also be found at Komoot.
