Dummewiesen Path

The hike starts at the info house in Bergen and initially follows the Dumme to a bridge which you cross, then follow the course of the road. The path runs along the village before leaving it on this side, returning to Bergen an der Dumme after a detour through the fields on the other side. You pass through the village over small streets and follow a field path into the nature reserve “Obere Dummeniederung”. Along the way, information boards provide details about this special habitat. Natural forests, extensive wetlands, and extensively used meadows characterize this landscape. From the viewing platform at the edge of the shallow waters, you can observe birds searching for food. At the end of the path lies the Rundling village Jiggel with its historic water mill. After crossing the Schnegaer Mühlenbach, the path takes you through the nature reserve “Gain” and along the Dumme back to your starting point in Bergen.

Two shortcuts are set up on the route. They are marked with a white triangle on a red background. The route length is shortened by about half.
