Wedemark

When planning a trip to Wedemark, you can consider whether you are especially interested in the raised bogs around Resse, a long-distance hiking trail, or other destinations in the wider Hannover Region travel destination. The local themes offer different points of reference to help you decide what you would like to focus on during your trip.

Bog knowledge and excursions in Resse

MOORiZ in the Wedemark village of Resse features a permanent exhibition covering 100 square metres about the history of the formation of the raised bogs around Resse, as well as their fauna and flora. The focus is therefore on both the development of the landscape and its wildlife and plant life. For travellers interested in nature, the exhibition offers a distinct perspective on the bogs.

MOORiZ is also a popular starting point for excursions into the bog. The exhibition and the excursion have different focuses: one covers the history of the bogs’ formation, as well as their fauna and flora; the other explores the bog as part of an excursion. These two aspects make Resse a specific point of interest for a nature-focused stay in Wedemark.

Two different route connections

Wedemark is part of two stages or day hikes on the European E1 long-distance hiking trail, which runs from the North Cape to Sicily. This makes the town part of a long-distance trail spanning a vast distance. For your planning, the E1 offers a different point of reference from the local bog attractions: it represents long-distance hiking and the stages or day hikes in Wedemark mentioned here.

The approximately 100-kilometre-long Northern Hanover Moor Route connects the Altwarmbüchen Bog with five other bogs in the cities and municipalities of Hannover, Isernhagen, Langenhagen, Neustadt, Wedemark and Wunstorf. Unlike the E1, this route focuses on linking several bogs. Its approximate length and the places it passes through place the route in a regional context. When planning your trip, you can therefore distinguish between the E1 long-distance hiking trail and a route connecting bogs across several places.

More nature and cultural themes in the Hannover Region

In the wider Hannover Region travel destination, the Herrenhausen Gardens in Hannover offer a distinct cultural highlight. They comprise the Great Garden, the Berggarten, Georgengarten and Welfengarten. The Berggarten in Herrenhausen developed from a vegetable and nursery garden into a botanical garden. Interactive digital garden trails and experience tours explore various topics related to the gardens, adding an interactive element to the experience of the grounds.

The Hannover Region also offers natural and waterside landscapes. Lake Steinhude is the largest inland body of water in northwestern Germany and is particularly well known for its water sports and holiday opportunities. In Mardorf, a five-kilometre lakeside path invites visitors to go for a walk. The nearby Dead Moor is one of the region’s important protected areas and provides a habitat for numerous animal and plant species. The lakeside path and the bog offer different nature experiences within the region.

Bus routes 382 and 385 serve the entrance to Wisentgehege Springe or the Abzweig Wisentgehege stop. If you include this destination in your plans, check the routes and timetable before setting out.
