    Roadbook

    Starting from the Ostehalle in Geversdorf, the route leads through the beautiful village in the direction of Oberndorf via a lightly trafficked road. Along the way are very beautiful, restored old farmhouses. In Oberndorf, a visit to the old Protestant church is worthwhile. The route continues via Hemm to the Cement Museum in Hemmoor. Here, the B73 is also crossed, leading to the Kalksee, a well-known diving base. Unfortunately, the lake cannot be accessed directly; it must be circumvented broadly, during which you can always catch a brief view of the lake. Then it goes through Hemmoor with its numerous dining options. After leaving Hemmoor, you approach the Oste again. From afar, a peculiar steel structure can already be seen. This is the support of the suspension ferry in Osten. During the main season, the ferry crosses the Oste every half hour. On the other bank, in the town of Osten, there is a small suspension ferry museum. Now it goes along the eastern side of the Oste always along the dike heading north. Here, again, very beautiful old farmhouses can be seen. It passes Oberndorf again before reaching the Oste bridge in Geversdorf. Here, the river is crossed and within a few minutes, the starting point of the route is reached.
