Trails and nature in Bohmte
Within the municipality, the picnic area is next to the Ochsenmoor Nature Reserve. Ochsenmoor is part of the Dümmer Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and the Dümmer EU Special Protection Area (SPA). The hiking routes in Bohmte include the TERRA.tracks “Stirper Berg” and “Streithorst”. Check the route conditions before setting out on a hike. An alternative starting and finishing point for the DiVa Walk is in Bohmte/Leckermühle, at an elevation of 115 metres; the full route is 107.6 kilometres long.
The moated castle at Gut Arenshorst is also among the places mentioned in Bohmte. The castle is not open to visitors. Check local notices before travelling there so you can take this restriction into account when planning.
Excursions in the wider Osnabrück travel destination
At the Bad Essen-Barkhausen dinosaur tracks, landscape and geological history come together: fossilised dinosaur footprints can be seen on a steep rock face. The experience area also includes two dinosaur replicas, detailed information boards and a circular trail. The signposted dinosaur trail is a 16-kilometre circular hiking route. This lets you combine a nature-history theme with a longer hike.
The 115-kilometre DiVa Tour between Bramsche and Bad Essen offers a different kind of outing. Its character includes relaxed cycling along the Mittelland Canal. The tour is connected to public transport: listed services include trains operated by WestfalenBahn, NordWestBahn and Deutsche Bahn, the Bremen tram and buses operated by Stadtwerke Osnabrück. Check connections before your tour if you plan to use public transport.
In Bad Iburg, the treetop walk combines a nature experience with geological history. It is almost 600 metres long. The 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 also provide insights into the geological history of the Teutoburg Forest and are part of the UNESCO Global Geopark TERRA.vita. Iburg Castle is the only surviving hilltop castle in the Osnabrück region.
Bad Rothenfelde offers a different focus: its two graduation towers date from 1777 and 1824 and form a large open-air inhalatorium. In the historic brine walkway, 50 metres can be covered with dry feet via wooden walkways and metal grates. The wider travel destination therefore offers a range of experiences, from views across the forest to historic structures and a section of the brine walkway.
Museums and regional history
At the Bramsche Tuchmacher Museum, 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 are presented using multimedia and are open to visitors. The two places offer different points of interest: textile production on historic machines at one, and a multimedia presentation on the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest at the other.
The permanent exhibition at the Museum im Kloster in Bersenbrück uses the history of the museum building to tell the story of three eras: the monastery from the 13th to the 18th century, the district office and district administration in the 19th century, and the museum in the 20th century. The Schnippenburg Museum holds a public guided tour at 2:30 p.m. on the first Sunday of every month throughout the year. Bookable themed tours and museum education activities are available at the three locations: the museum, the archaeological site and the Iron Age house. Check the date before travelling.
When choosing a holiday apartment in Bohmte, you can plan your trip around whether the Bohmte hiking routes are the main focus or whether you would like to add excursions in the wider Osnabrück travel destination. The destinations mentioned offer a range of themes and activities; choose the mix that suits your travel interests.
