Petershagen - stork capital on the Weser

 The town of Petershagen lies high up in the north of OWL. Here, the Weser meanders through a rural idyll of meadows, fields, green meadows and romantic little villages. The Petershagen Stork Route leads past manor houses, old churches, mills, half-timbered houses and museums.

These sights are embedded in the beautiful landscape along the Middle Weser, which has been designated a bird sanctuary between Petershagen and Schlüsselburg for good reason. Extensive farmland and meadow landscapes, near-natural former excavation waters and the Weser itself with its barrages provide a diverse habitat for numerous plant and animal species in both summer and winter.

The occupied stork nests in the Weser villages are once again a particular attraction in the summer months. After the population of white storks in North Rhine-Westphalia collapsed at the end of the 1980s - the last 3 breeding pairs bred in the Petershäger Weser floodplain - young are now being raised on more than 100 nests in the Minden-Lübbecke district alone. Around a third of these pairs breed in the town of Petershagen.
