If you need a few moments of relaxation, then undertake a small nature walk through 'Lünnemanns Pättken' trial.

This old path connection between the village centre of Dreierwalde and some independent farmers in the outskirts has been forgotten in the past years. By now, it has been possible to utilise this Pättken again and make it attractive. This nature trail was created in the course of the action 'Our village shall become more beautiful' by the Hegering Hörstel-Dreierwalde, the agricultural village association Dreierwalde and the Kolping family Dreierwalde.

Starting at the Dreierwalde river Aa, we see first the 'Kahlenborger Cross'. Destroyed during the war, re-erected by the farmers from Kahlenborg after the war, it is now bigger and prettier than before. Opposite is a display case with information about the nature trail 'Lünnemanns Pättken'.

Information signs along the 1,5 km trail, indicate special agricultural features, the hunt and the forest. Over 25 nesting boxes give insight into the diversity of the regional birds.

On the left side of the 'Pättkens', we'll find a large fruit meadow with young bushes, on the right one sees the old fruit trees.

Walking past a stone bench and a former farm, 'Lünnemanns Pättken' runs through woods, open fields and meadows, near the Aa bridge. The attentive walker will notice the murmuring and the view of the water from the mill weir, which comes crashing down here. The Aa water feeds an old watermill, whose origins goes back to the beginning of the 18th-century. 100 years ago, the rattling waterwheel was replaced by a turbine. Today, the power for this mill, is being generated with the help of water power. The mill with its weir is an example of the change in the usage of water power. After this excursion, the 'Pättken' guides us along the river Aa to an old 'Kluse' . Built from stone and wood, it stems from the year 1892 and houses the 'Holy Agnes'.

Via the 'Burrichter Hof', an impressive restored, listed farm facility, the walker turns back to the starting point.
