Gänsebachweg

We cross Leester Straße, at the next corner we follow the small cycle and footpath and turn into Gänsebachweg, which leads us to Syker Straße (B6) in Melchiorshausen. We have to cross the main road as there is only a footpath on this side. We follow it a few meters in the direction of Syke and reach Grützmacherstraße. We venture across the main road again.

We turn right into Grützmacherstraße, then immediately into Gartenstraße. We pass the war memorial, the old Melchiorshauser elementary school, cross Melchiorshauser Straße at the traffic lights and follow "Hinter dem Felde". The second turn-off to the left takes us past the afforestation and back to the road "Am Gänsekamp".

The Gänsebachweg is an old path parallel to the Gänsebach. We pass an area where a meadow orchard has been created with the support of Nabu. We are in the middle of Weyhe and yet away from suburban development. The war memorial in Melchiorshausen, like the one in Sudweyhe, stands in a spacious area under old trees. The elementary school was closed a few years ago after fierce public protests and is now home to a large day care center for children and a special school next door.
