Accessible trails and waterside views
The area around Angelbecksteich lies roughly halfway between Oldendorf and Queloh. The accessible circular trail around the reservoir is approximately 1 km long and suitable for wheelchair users and families with pushchairs. There is a guidance system for people with visual impairments; information boards and places to rest complete the trail. Its manageable length and combination of wayfinding and places to take a break make this walk a clearly defined option for a nature outing. When planning, it is helpful to compare the specific features mentioned for the trail with the needs of your group.
The first accessible circular hiking trail in the SĂĽdheide Nature Park was created in Oldendorf. The trail includes a viewing pavilion above the water. So, as well as the route itself, a distinctive vantage point is part of the walk.
The House of Nature and forest nature trail
On the outskirts of Oldendorf an der Örtze is the Erich-Eickenrodt House, now known as the House of Nature. Its grounds include a former gravel pit measuring 0.75 ha and a pond of around 300 m². The gravel pit is considerably larger in area than the pond, giving the grounds a different scale from that of the smaller body of water. The signposted forest nature trail at the House of Nature may feature around 100 stops. As a trail focused on individual stops, it offers a different experience from the circular trail at Angelbecksteich, which follows a route around the reservoir.
The House of Nature was open on Sunday afternoons during the summer months. If a visit is part of your plans, please check the current opening hours in advance.
A protected raised bog near Oldendorf
Bornriet Moor is near Oldendorf and is protected as a raised bog. This adds another nature attraction to the trails and the grounds of the House of Nature: a protected bog that differs in character from a circular trail or nature trail. Together, the places mentioned offer different focuses for planning a trip, from a manageable stroll to a nature attraction with protected status.
