Geestrandweg (Tour 4)

The village of Bruchhausen-Vilsen has around 40 km of marked hiking trails. The combination of different paths creates circular routes of various lengths (Tour 1-Tour 7). It goes through gentle hills, fields, lush meadows past streams and through unspoiled nature around Bruchhausen-Vilsen.

The diversity of nature and the charms of the seasons make these trails tours of discovery. Refreshment stops, places of interest and special features have been included in the respective tour descriptions. The routes are easy to recognize thanks to the signposting and generally lead along paths that are easy to walk on.
