Seth: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The Sether hiking trail runs through the Sether Moor. It is approximately 13 kilometres long, begins at the Old School, and is marked with yellow arrows bearing the number 21. Benches are located along the trail. The trail is promoted for hiking in every season and is suitable for cycling.

Nature and landscape

The Holmer Moor lies east of Seth. At Seth’s eastern municipal boundary, it is designated as a legally protected biotope. Northern Seth is characterised by a cultural and historically significant hedgerow landscape.

In the immediate surroundings of Seth, visible traces of former peat extraction are still preserved in the Holmer Moor. The moor is crossed by numerous hiking trails. A short circular route begins at the southern edge of Seth, follows Holmer Weg northwards into the moor, and returns in a loop.

History and culture

Seth was first mentioned in documentary records in 1351. Archaeological finds indicate settlement in Seth during the Neolithic and Bronze Age.

A Bronze Age hoard from the Sether Moor near Fredersdorfer Damm dates to around 1200 BC. The find comprised five bronze axes, two finished axes, and two belt discs. The coat of arms of Seth depicts a find from the Sether Moor that is approximately 3,000 years old.

Peat was extracted in the Holmer Moor for centuries; some of the peat was transported to Hamburg. In Seth, St. Andrew’s Church is maintained by the Seth-Stuvenborn-Sievershütten parish.

Seth is connected to the surrounding area by HVV public transport.
