Farven: Church and Play and Water Park

Farven brings together two distinct local attractions: the Pella Church, which shapes the townscape, and the play and water park with its water and green spaces. The church was built in 1910. The park features a pond with a sandy beach, a stream and a large lawn. If you’re looking for a holiday apartment in Farven, you can combine these experiences with other ideas from the wider Rotenburg travel destination.

Water and Townscape in Farven

Farven Play and Water Park brings together several areas on one site: a pond with a sandy beach, a stream and a large lawn. Water and open green space sit side by side, shaping the character of the park. If you’re out with children, you can use the different areas as an opportunity to enjoy the water and open space together. Admission is free; donations are welcome. Please check this information again before your visit.

The Pella Church in Farven was built in 1910 and shapes the townscape. It is a tangible historical landmark in the town. The church and the play and water park give Farven two distinct focal points: the building, with its long history in the town, and the combination of pond, stream and lawn.

Another cycling idea lies in the surrounding area around Selsingen: small information boards along the SteinErlebnisRoute 3 tell cyclists about historical and cultural sites along the route. This way, the ride also offers insights into the region’s history and culture.

Nature and Activities in the Wider Rotenburg Travel Destination

In the wider Rotenburg travel destination, 24 NORDPFADE trails form a network of circular walking routes ranging from 5 to 32 kilometres. The NORDPFAD Ostetal runs through a natural river landscape with floodplain forests, wet meadows, reed beds and steep banks. The different route lengths make it easier to choose a walk; along the Ostetal, the focus is on the varied landscapes beside the river.

The Wümme Cycle Route in the wider Rotenburg travel destination is a circular route of around 250 kilometres that follows the Wümme more or less closely. The northern route is around 125 kilometres long, while the southern route is around 135 kilometres. Connecting routes divide the trails into appealing sections that are also suitable for day trips and families. The cycle route lies within the triangle formed by the metropolitan areas of Bremen, Hamburg and Hanover, between the Lüneburg Heath and the Weser. Walking trails and cycling routes thus offer different ways to experience the region.

In the wider Rotenburg travel destination, Tister Bauernmoor and Ekelmoor form a 1,220-hectare nature reserve complex. The moor railway travels at 6 km/h through Tister Bauernmoor, a typical raised bog landscape with pools, grasses, heather plants and birches. The focus here is on the moorland landscape and its characteristic plants.

LandPark Lauenbrück in the wider Rotenburg travel destination is another idea for a day out: 200 wild and domestic animals live there in spacious enclosures and large barns. In Sandbostel, the Sandbostel Camp Memorial offers young people educational programmes focused on commemorating, remembering and learning at the historic site. Sandbostel is a starting point for canoe trips on the Oste; the river is navigable only when water levels are high enough. Check the water level before a canoe trip.

When looking for a holiday apartment in Farven, it helps to consider what you want to focus on: would you mainly like to explore the townscape and the play and water park, or would you prefer to include more nature and activity destinations in the wider Rotenburg travel destination in your trip plans?
