Weyhe: Pilgrimage Route, Marina and Mühlenkamp Grounds
Accommodation in Weyhe
Weyhe can be explored through three very different attractions: a signposted section of a pilgrimage route, the marina on Lake Wieltsee and the Mühlenkamp grounds in the district of Leeste. This lets you experience a route, a harbour and a local recreation area as distinct highlights. When planning your holiday, it helps to consider what you want to shape your stay: a defined sequence of places along a route, the scale of a harbour or a place with a lake, lawn and playground. These specific differences make Weyhe an appealing destination for a trip that gives varying weight to exercise, access to the water and time outdoors.
Weyhe: Route, Harbour and Local Recreation
The signposted section of the pilgrimage route runs from Dreye through Kirchweyhe to Lahausen. A leaflet gives walkers and pilgrims an overview of the section. If you plan your trip around the route, you can use the sequence of the three places as a guide for further planning. The pilgrimage route therefore offers a different focus from the marina: here, the route itself takes centre stage, while at Lake Wieltsee, the scale of the harbour facilities is the main feature.
The marina on Lake Wieltsee has seven jetties with more than 230 berths for boats up to 25 metres long. The berths can be used all year round. Their number and size give you concrete points of reference if you are interested in the harbour when choosing your destination. Unlike the pilgrimage route, which is defined by its sequence of places, the focus here is on berths and boat lengths.
Established in 1972, the Mühlenkamp grounds in the district of Leeste serve as a local recreation area for all of Weyhe and cover six hectares. The grounds include Mühlenkamp Lake, a central lawn, seating, a barbecue and a playground. These different features make the grounds a clearly defined place to spend time outdoors: the lake and lawn shape the area, seating and a barbecue add to it, and the playground provides a dedicated destination for children. If you are planning a trip with children, you can take this focus into account when choosing places to visit.
When looking for a holiday apartment in Weyhe, your planned style of trip can be a useful starting point: the pilgrimage route, marina and Mühlenkamp grounds appeal to different interests. Consider which of these is most important to your stay. This will help you choose Weyhe based on the experiences you want to shape your trip.
Within the wider destination of Diepholz
The wider destination of Diepholz includes two tourism regions and two nature parks. One example of its nature-related attractions is the Moor Discovery Trail in the Diepholz Moor: the trail is around two kilometres long, has ten informative stations and offers a chance to experience the moor ecosystem in every season.
The museums in the district also cover a variety of subjects. At the Dümmer Museum in Lembruch, the “Life in the Water” research station explains the ecology of the Dümmer ecosystem in detail. The museum presents the nature, landscape and culture of Lake Dümmer in the past, present and future. The Stone Age at Lake Dümmer comes to life through original artefacts from 4,000 to 2,000 BC and reconstructions. A two-hour discovery tour explores life in the waters of Lake Dümmer using a landing net, plankton net, thermometer, questionnaire and microscope. It is intended for families and small groups of fewer than 15 people, school classes, and groups of up to 25 people. The Syke District Museum, with its Gesseler Gold Hoard Forum, is the district of Diepholz’s museum of cultural and social history. It presents everyday life from the Stone Age to the threshold of the present day.
