The Wümmedeich
Cycling, coffee and relaxing
© Privat _ JUA
Surrounded by wide meadows and along the Wümme: On the Wümmedeich, walkers, cyclists and inline skaters enjoy some leisure fun with a view.
The Wümmedeich
The Wümmedeich is located in a rural area, but still close to the city. In Blockland, one of the few areas of Bremen where pasture farming is still practised today, the Wümmedeich is intended to protect the fields and houses of the local farmers from flooding.
For day trippers, the Blockland offers great leisure tours and a marvellous and species-rich cultural landscape. Parts of the cycling and hiking trails in Blockland are located on the Wümmedeich and offer you a great view over the flat countryside. Old, original thatched houses are home to farm cafés and shops where you can take a break with a cup of coffee and a slice of cake in the green farm gardens.
The Borgfelder Wümmewiesen
The Borgfelder Wümme meadows are also located along the Wümme. Bremen's largest nature reserve provides a valuable habitat for numerous animals and plants.
The Borgfelder Wümmewiesen cover 677 hectares, which have been a nature reserve since 1987 and have been designated as an EU bird sanctuary of the same name. Numerous species are at home here. Lapwings, black-tailed godwits, corncrakes and many other birds find ideal resting and breeding conditions here.
Seemingly endless paths meander along the Wümmwiesen and invite you to go for walks and bike rides. You can also enjoy a great view over the vast fields from a lookout tower on the Hollerdeich.
