Discover Auetal: Cycling Routes and Regional History
Accommodation in Auetal
If you are looking for a hotel in Auetal, you can plan your trip around local interests: cycling, hiking, the outdoor pool, local history or regional production. Auetal lies in a broad valley between the BĂĽckeberge hills and the Wesergebirge mountain range. The attractions described here offer different points of interest and give you starting points for planning your stay.
Cycling, Hiking and Landscapes
The AU3 Auetaler Höhepunkte is a 20.74-kilometre circular cycling route and is rated easy. Its length, circular layout and difficulty rating give you concrete details to help you fit a bike trip into your stay. For a different hiking experience, there is the Weg der Selbstzuwendung, listed as a certified quality hiking trail in Auetal. The information highlights different features: the AU3 is described by its distance and difficulty, while the Weg der Selbstzuwendung is noted for its quality certification.
Hiking and cycling routes are designated in Raden, where there are also protected areas. The Sonnental outdoor pool offers another option: it lies between the BĂĽckeberge hills and the Wesergebirge mountain range and has sports facilities as well as a 30-metre-long water slide. In Auetal, alongside the named trails, you will also find a place with specific leisure facilities.
Local History and the Local History Museum
St Catherine’s Church is the oldest building in Kathrinhagen and was originally built as a fortified church. The building’s name is therefore connected with two clear historical facts: its status as the oldest building in the village and its original design. For travellers interested in local history, the church is a specific point of interest in Kathrinhagen.
The Auetal Local History Museum focuses on rural life and crafts. Its offerings include activity days, special exhibitions and museum education programmes; what is available may vary by season. Visits are possible by prior appointment, and parking is available directly at the museum. If you would like to include the museum in your day’s plans, arrange your visit in advance and ask about the seasonal programme.
Gut Oelbergen and Oelberger Spelt Korn
Alcohol has been distilled at Gut Oelbergen in Poggenhagen since 1824. The Haake family produces Oelberger Spelt Korn there in small quantities; production volumes may change. Alongside the long history of production, a specifically named product is also central to the local story.
The Haake family offers tours with tastings at Gut Oelbergen on request. If you would like to plan a visit, contact the family in advance. This focus on production and tasting adds another distinct interest to Auetal’s other attractions, without requiring you to also plan a visit to the museum or one of the routes.
