For planning a trip to Bohmte, there are specific hiking routes to consider: the TERRA.tracks “Stirper Berg” and “Streithorst”, as well as an alternative start and finish point for the DiVa-Walk in Bohmte/Leckermühle. You can also include the wider Osnabrück travel region for additional nature and cultural attractions.

Hiking and nature in Bohmte

The hiking routes listed for Bohmte include the TERRA.tracks “Stirper Berg” and “Streithorst”. Check the conditions for your chosen route before setting out. For the DiVa-Walk, be sure to distinguish between the start and finish point, elevation and total distance: the alternative start and finish point in Bohmte/Leckermühle is at an elevation of 115 metres, while the tour’s total distance is 107.6 kilometres. The elevation figure therefore does not indicate the length of the route. When planning, it is important to decide whether to use the local start and finish point as your reference or take the walk’s full distance into account.

Within the municipality, the picnic area borders the Ochsenmoor Nature Reserve. This is part of the Dümmer Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Dümmer EU Special Protection Area (SPA). Arenshorst Manor’s moated castle is not open to visitors; check this access information again before your arrival.

At the Bad Essen-Barkhausen dinosaur tracks, fossilised dinosaur footprints can be seen on a steep rock face. The visitor area also features two dinosaur replicas, detailed information panels and a circular trail. The signposted dinosaur trail near the tracks is a 16-kilometre circular hiking route. This offers different ways to explore the subject: a visitor area with information panels and replicas, or a longer hike on the marked trail.

For a different kind of tour, consider the DiVa-Tour: it is 115 kilometres long, runs between Bramsche and Bad Essen, and follows the Mittelland Canal by bike. It is connected to public transport, including trains operated by WestfalenBahn, NordWestBahn and Deutsche Bahn, the Bremen tramway, and buses operated by Stadtwerke Osnabrück. Check connections again before your trip. The DiVa-Tour should not be confused with the DiVa-Walk, whose start and finish point is in Bohmte/Leckermühle.

In Bad Iburg, the treetop walkway offers a woodland experience along a route of almost 600 metres. Its accessible entrance tower is over 30 metres high and offers panoramic views of Iburg Castle and the Teutoburg Forest. The walkway and its exhibition pavilion are part of the UNESCO Global Geopark TERRA.vita. The pavilion explores the geological history of the Teutoburg Forest. Iburg Castle is the only surviving hilltop castle in the Osnabrück region.

Culture and crafts are also among the options in the Osnabrück travel region: at the Tuchmacher Museum Bramsche, fluffy woollen blankets are made on working machines that are over 100 years old. At the Museum and Park Kalkriese, exhibits on the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest can be explored using multimedia. The museum in the monastery recounts three periods through the history of the building’s use: the monastery from the 13th to the 18th century, the district office and administration in the 19th century, and the museum in the 20th century.

If you plan to visit the Schnippenburg Museum, the public tour is a specific point to consider: it takes place year-round on the first Sunday of each month at 2:30 p.m. Check the date before your arrival. The museum, archaeological site and Iron Age house also offer bookable themed tours and educational activities. When choosing regional excursions, you can weigh up hiking, cycling, exhibitions and guided activities.
