From the handicraft museum to the French grave

The Nature Tour Hiddenhausen starts at the picturesque Craft Museum, part of the extraordinary building ensemble of the estate "Haus Hiddenhausen". Past green pastures, the path leads to the Bustedter Meadows, which are both a flood retention basin and a nature reserve. Along the Brandbach, the journey continues to Gut Bustedt, an old moated castle from the 15th century and today an important environmental education center. Via the narrow-gauge railway route, you reach Füllenbruch, a wet depression with many meadows, valuable plant stocks, and nature-designed streams. Passing by old farms, a rare horse-powered threshing machine, and a French grave, you return to the starting point.
