Tourism

Evening view on Meesdorf

In the northern parts of Hunte Valley, Dinosaur tracks were spotted. The erected building is rainsave, and also from Barkhausen are many signs to that ever opened exhibition. At Hunte Valley, wanderers find many ways that lead into the Wiehenhills. The "Rote Pfahl" is a marker at the side of the road, where the trader's route through Meesdorf in the 19th century is remembered. To get over the Bad Essen hill, the traders from Bremen had to use additional horses for their wagons. The stick was used as a signal for safety in front of burglars and forest smugglers that plagued the roads of the area.

The 13 ton boulder flint at the Glockenstraße crossroads reminds a visitor of deep history of the village.
