Hike with a view
The hike leads idyllically through the Wetterungsweg, which is lined with tall trees, and over the little-used Hochschulring road. There, hikers can take a deep breath before the path continues into Blockland. Here, cows and herons mingle with the hikers and provide lively companions on the path, which offers a view of the Kleine Wümme and the flowering meadows through the picturesque surroundings. On the benches in the shade you can dip your feet into the cool water of the Wümme before continuing on to Waller Feldmarksee.
The Waller Feldmarksee, an quarry lake that was created in the 1970s, has quickly established itself as a hotspot for swimmers and windsurfers. Thanks to its DLRG station, swimmers are well looked after here. On 12.36 hectares you can chill out and splash around while sport fishermen pass the time with their hobby. A special feature: The water of the lake is slightly salty due to the geological conditions in the region, which distinguishes it from other bathing lakes, such as komoot.com explained.
