Tourism

Evening view on Meesdorf

In the northern parts of Hunte Valley, dinosaur tracks were discovered. The erected building is rainsave, and also from Barkhausen are many signs to that never 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 to signal in case something dangerous is happening(such as a burgalor or gangster) .[2]

The 13 ton boulder flint at the Glockenstraße crossroads reminds visitors of the village's deep history.[3]
