Geographically, the region lies between the rivers Weser and Hunte and the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park. Here you will find a unique combination of moorland, heath and forest landscapes. Hikes through the "Hachetal" nature reserve or along the "Kunstradweg" (Art Bike Trail), where you can admire numerous sculptures, are particularly recommended.

The town of Bassum offers many tourist attractions such as Harpstedt Castle with its museum of arts and crafts or the Romanesque church Stiftskirche Bassum from the 12th century. The weekly market in the old town is also not to be missed - here you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables and regional specialities.

Another highlight is Diepholz with its medieval castle complex situated on the shores of Lake Dümmer. The lake itself offers opportunities for sailing, surfing or simply relaxing on the beach.

Cultural highlights are provided by various events such as the "Bassumer Sommer" music festival, the annual wine festival in Bruchhausen-Vilsen or even the traditional Easter fair at Schloss Erbhof Thedinghausen.

If you want to indulge in culinary delights, you should definitely try the regional specialities: from kale to asparagus dishes, every palate will be happy here. The local beer "Diepholzer" is also a must for every visitor.

If it should rain, there are numerous indoor activities such as museums or indoor swimming pools that are worth a visit. Alternatively, you can relax in one of the cosy cafés and enjoy the day with a cup of coffee.

Overall, Bassum and Diepholz are definitely worth a trip - here you will find nature, culture and culinary delights at the highest level. A perfect destination for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city and long for relaxation. This travel guide will help you get the most out of your stay!

    Trotz des tristen Novemberwetters erwies sich die Tour als echtes Highlight. Der vom alten Förster Erdmann geprägte Wald sorgte für eine gemütliche Atmosphäre. Die Strecke führte überwiegend über gut begehbare Schotterwege, zwischendurch auch über Asphaltabschnitte. Unterwegs gab es mehrere Bänke und die Infotafeln entlang des Weges boten spannende Einblicke in die Umgebung. Insgesamt eine wirklich schöne Tour. Den gelungenen Abschluss bildete ein Besuch im Restaurant Zum Mühlenteich, das uns mit hervorragendem Essen und gemütlichem Ambiente überzeugte.

    Eine sehr gut ausgearbeitete Route.schon vom Start an durch ruhige Nebenstraßen und dann weiter durch die wunderschöne Landschaft auf gut ausgesuchten Wegen und Straßen.alle sehr wenig bis gar nicht befahren. Empfehlung: diese Route nicht bei sehr nassem Wetter fahren,da die Wald- und Feldwege teilweise dann sehr matschig sein könnten. Pausen sind sehr gut möglich in Harpstedt -Eiscafé- und in Dünsen -Lokal-,weiterhin auch immer mal wieder Bänke zum Ausruhen. Wir sind die Tour heute mit unseren Pedelecs gefahren am 09.04.16 und sicher nicht das letzte Mal.
