Discover Eggebek: Nature and Cycling

If you are considering Eggebek for its nature-related attractions, ARTEN EDEN is a specific place to start. The nature experience park and wildflower garden combines plants, habitats for animals and environmental education. When planning the rest of your trip, you can distinguish between the activities by type: ARTEN EDEN can be included as a nature stop on a cycling tour; the Tydal Tour is a circular walking route.

ARTEN EDEN: Wild Plants and Nature Experiences

ARTEN EDEN in Eggebek is a nature experience park and wildflower garden with more than 50 native wild plant species. The park provides habitats for animals and includes environmental education stations. Visitor attractions include a tree-themed trail, a hedge maze, an aviary, a low ropes course and outdoor art. The site thus combines the garden with other landscaped areas and learning opportunities.

When planning your visit, you can consider which of these themes interest you most: the wild plants, the environmental education stations or the other visitor attractions. Parks and plantings can change, so it is best to check the latest information before your visit.

Cycling and Walking

ARTEN EDEN is located directly on the Stapelholmer Weg and the “Auf dem Holzweg” cycling route. For visitors travelling by bicycle, the park can serve as a nature stop. This lets you combine gardens and nature with a cycling tour. Cycling route signs and conditions may change, so it is a good idea to check the latest information before your tour.

The Tydal Tour is a freely accessible circular walking route through the varied Tydal landscape. Sights along the route include the Treene River, the Treenelandschaft Eggebek educational centre and the ArcheGärtnerei. As a walking loop, the route offers a different type of activity from the possible nature stop at ARTEN EDEN. This distinction is useful when deciding between a cycling tour and a circular walking route.
