The campsite is easy to reach even if it is rather remote by Central European standards. It is not directly next to a railway station or a motorway. However, it is reasonably accessible via main roads and bus connections. 

The nearest railway station is Nienburg(Weser). Regional and S-Bahn trains stop there every hour. There are also some long-distance trains. If you are travelling by regional train, a Germany ticket is probably worthwhile. The DB app is the best way to plan your train journey. From there, you can take the number 60 bus to the Landesbergen, Kraftwerk bus stop. The bus journey takes about 30 minutes.  From there it is about 25 minutes on foot to the accommodation. Your luggage will be transported from the bus stop to our accommodation.

Travelling by bike is easily possible. The campsite is close to the Weser cycle path, which is one of the most popular cycle routes in Germany. Further information is available here: https://www.weserradweg-info.de/ (Unfortunately only in German)

The nearest long-distance bus stop is Hanover. It is very well connected both nationally and internationally. From there, you have to continue your journey by train and bus.

You can find more information about the connection and the Hanover bus station at: https://www.hannover-zob.de/

The accommodation is easy to reach by car. The address is “In den Büschen; 31628 Landesbergen” The journey by car is mainly via main roads and country roads. However, the last 200 meters are unpaved roads. However, this can be mastered without any problems by standard vehicles travelling slowly. If you are travelling by car, we recommend carpooling to save on fuel and travel costs.

The nearest airports are Hanover (HAJ) and Bremen (BRE). They have many national and international connections. They are about 2-3 hours away from the accommodation by train and bus. Hamburg (HAM), which is around 4 hours away, has an even larger selection of flights. 

Excursions:

Monastery Loccum

This excursion takes us to Loccum Abbey. It was founded in the early Middle Ages and even though it is no longer inhabited by monks, a large part of its historical building fabric has been preserved. We will be given a guided tour of the monastery, where we will learn all the important information about it and its surroundings. Afterwards, we will take a walk through the neighbouring natural monastery forest. In this recreational area, which is very popular with locals, we will walk past the monastery’s historic and beautiful fish ponds and a small castle ruin, among other things.

Rauzwi Archaeology Middle Weser

This excursion will include two very interesting aspects of remembrance research. First, we are going to have a guided tour of an archaeological site, specifically a burial ground from the 4th to the 9th century B.C., along with later discovered remains of a settlement from the 8th or 9th century A.D. The second part of this excursion will be a guided and interactive tour through the open-air museum, which includes a pit house and a post store. Aspects of remembrance culture, perhaps from earlier times than you have encountered in your studies, will be the focus of this wonderful excursion.

Peatlands of lower saxony – MoorIZ (Peat information center)

Join us for an unforgettable adventure through the peatlands of lower saxony and experience the beauty and complexity of these vital ecosystems firsthand. We will visit the peat information center which provides an in-depth look at the formation of peat, biodiversity, its use by humans and the environmental significance of peatlands. We will also gain insights into the conversation efforts and the challenges facing peatland preservation. Afterwards the will have an expert- guided tour through the Otternhagener Moor and experience this unique landscape with its wildlife by ourselves. This excursion is perfect for physical geographers, soil enjoyers and nature enthusiasts.
