Tensfeld offers two different reasons to visit: routes through moorland and floodplain landscapes, and motocross-related activities. When choosing a destination, it is worth deciding first what matters most to you: are you looking for a walk through the moorland with opportunities for birdwatching, or would you like to plan your trip around a training session or event? This distinction makes the local options easier to consider when planning your accommodation.
Moorland and circular trails
The 8.09-kilometre Tarbeker Moor circular trail starts at the Tensfeld community centre and loops around a restored moorland complex. The rewetting of the moor began in 1991 with the damming of the Tensfelder Au; the moorland vegetation provides a habitat for many animal species. The route is therefore both a specific trail and a landscape with a history of rewetting. The trail is not signposted on site, but is documented digitally. So follow the route description and plan how you will navigate before setting out.
The Tensfelder Au circular trail also starts at the Tensfeld community centre. It runs past meadows, fields and small woods along the Tensfelder Au and is suitable for birdwatching. This trail is also documented digitally and is not signposted on site, so the route description is important for finding your way. Cranes have also resettled in Tensfeld’s moorland and the surrounding areas. Together with the moorland vegetation, which provides a habitat for many animal species, wildlife is one of the area’s nature-related attractions.
The trails offer different highlights: the Tarbeker Moor route focuses on the restored moorland complex and its 8.09-kilometre circular trail; the Tensfelder Au circular trail is defined by its meadows, fields, small woods and suitability for birdwatching. When planning a nature outing, you can choose based on the landscape and the activity you have in mind.
Motocross, courses and events
Motocross and trial activities take place at an ADAC motorsport venue in Tensfeld. The MCE Tensfeld facility includes a motocross track with deep sand and a separate children’s track; the facility layout may change over time. As an ADAC MX Academy location, Tensfeld offers taster courses and an advanced course for young motocross riders. General training days are aimed at enduro, motocross and quad riders. Events at MCE Tensfeld include, among others, ADAC MX Masters. The motorsport offering therefore ranges from the track and courses to training and competitions.
Plan your stay around the occasion
When choosing a holiday apartment, it helps to decide first what brings you to the area: for a nature-focused trip, the moorland, the landscape along the Tensfelder Au and birdwatching can take centre stage. If you are coming to Tensfeld for a course or event, check the dates against your travel plans, as activities and calendars may vary.
