Discover Eschede: Horseback Riding Route and Memorial Site

Horseback Riding Route and Path Through the Memorial Site

Horseback Riding Route 04 Eschede runs from Eschede via Rebberlah, Burghorn and Habighorst and back to Eschede. It is about 35 kilometres long. This makes it a longer loop, whose approximate distance you can factor into your plans. Check the official route page for current details before setting out on horseback.

A path through the Eschede memorial site offers a different focus. In the cherry garden, it runs alongside the trees and parallel to the railway tracks; heading north, it continues to Eschede railway station. This makes it possible to experience the route through the memorial site and cherry garden, and alongside the tracks, as a distinct connection to the place rather than equating it with a longer tour.

Nature and the Doll Collection

The nature park information centre is located in Eschede railway station. There, visitors can sit inside an oversized replica of a freshwater pearl mussel and watch a film about the biology, ecology and cultural history of this rare mussel species. The unusual shape of the exhibit and the film offer different ways to explore the subject: an engaging object to discover and information about the mussel.

Markmann’s Toy Rooms contain around 700 dolls. The collection ranges from tiny dolls for dollhouses to replicas of toddlers, offering a wide variety within a single theme. Advance registration is currently required for public visits. If you plan to visit the collection, make sure to register in advance.

The places and activities appeal to different interests: the horseback riding route gives you a specific distance for an active outing, while the memorial site, information centre and collection each offer different experiences in Eschede. When choosing a holiday apartment, it may help to first consider which of these themes you want to shape your stay.

In the wider destination of Celle

The wider destination of Celle also offers nature and culture to help you plan your trip. In Südheide Nature Park, there are ten signposted themed cycling routes with a total length of more than 400 kilometres. They lead to special attractions and pass through heathland, forests, heath streams, and moorland and pond landscapes. The park also has 23 themed walking trails, five discovery trails and three long-distance hiking trails. This is a wider choice of cycling and hiking themes than the single Horseback Riding Route 04 Eschede, which is around 35 kilometres long.

Canoeing is subject to a separate seasonal restriction: canoeing on the heath streams in Celle district is permitted with restrictions each year from 16 May to 14 October. Check local restrictions and water levels before setting off. This activity cannot simply be equated with the walking and cycling options available throughout the year; it has a limited season and additional conditions.

Culture is also part of the wider destination of Celle. A guided tour for individual visitors takes you through Celle’s old town and offers insights into Celle Castle, the town’s history and Celle’s half-timbered architecture, with more than 480 half-timbered houses. No advance registration is required. Alongside nature, visitors can therefore choose a guided town walk and historic architecture as distinct travel interests.
