    Eine tolle Tour! Sehr abwechslungsreich und leicht zu fahren. Abstriche gibt’s leider, wenn man die Anfahrt über Outdooractive vornimmt. Als Ziel ist eigentlich der Friedhof in Aschen angegeben. Allerdings wird man da nicht hingeführt sondern landet inmitten einer Siedlung. Wir haben daher Aschen in unser eigenes Navi eingegeben und sind dann an der richtigen Stelle angekommen! Zwischendurch muss man ein wenig aufpassen, weil nicht alle Wege in der Karte aktuell zu sein scheinen.

    Schöne, einfache Tour am Südende des Dümmers. Heute bei trockenem Wetter gelaufen. Relativ wenig Menschen, relativ viele Vögel, heute vor allem Bläss- und Graugänse. Unterwegs immer wieder Krähen. Im Wäldchen ein Schwarm Schwanzmeisen.

    Schöne Wanderung um den Dümmer. Wir sind in Hüde im Südosten des Sees gestartet und haben den See im Uhrzeigersinn umrundet. Im Süden. Der südliche Abschnitt über den Deich vom Marler Graben bis zur Hunte ist für Kinderwagen nicht geeignet, wie wir vor Ort festgestellt haben; da waren wir wohl etwas zu optimistisch bei der "Planung" der Tour. Dieses Stück müsste jedoch etwas weiter südlich umgangen werden können. Ab der Brücke über die Hunte verlauft ein Schotterweg (später Pflaster/ Asphalt) um den See, der auch von Kindern im Kinderwagen, Rollern etc. bewältigt werden kann. Erster Anlaufpunkt war bei unserer Runde der schön gelegene Hafen "Olgahafen". Ab Eickhöpen passiert man immer wieder kleine und sehr nett anzusehende Ferienhäuser in unmittelbarer Nähe zum See. Nach dem Örtchen Lembruch (Café/ Strand/ Infrastruktur) durchquert man erneut ein Naturschutzgebiet, bevor es vorbei am Campingplatz wieder zurück nach Hüde geht. Anreise/ Parken: z. B. entlang der Straße "Im Dorfe 2, 49448 Hüde"

    Zum Start der Tour empfiehlt sich ein Parkplatz in der Seestraße in der Nähe des Dümmer Museum im Lembruch. Von dort geht es auf den Deich des Dümmer See. Von da an kann man nichts mehr falsch machen, geht ja schließlich im Kreis.
