Bremen Switzerland

Map of Bremen Switzerland, bordered in the south by the Lesum, in the west by the Weser Marsh, the north by the Düngel Forest and the east by the Lange Heide.

Bremen Switzerland (German: Bremer Schweiz) is an undulating geest landscape in the north of Bremen (Bremen Nord) and the adjacent district of Osterholz district, and forms the western portion of the Osterholz Geest. In comparison to the rather flat land on which the city of Bremen is built and its surrounding area which is built on marsh and bog, Bremen Switzerland reaches heights of up to about 30 m above sea level (NN). The region of the Bremer Schweiz is framed by the Weser tributary of Lesum to the south, the Weser to the west, the marsh region of Osterstade to the northwest, the forest of Düngel to the north (Garlstedt-Meyenburg line), the former B 6 federal road to Bremerhaven (now the L135) to the east and the adjoining heath of Langen Heide.

Bremen Switzerland is divided into nature reserves, meadows, woods, heathland and depressions like the Ihle valley and the valleys of the Schönebecker Aue, the Blumenthaler Aue and the Beckedorfer Beeke. As a result, it is a favourite destination for many leisure pursuits like walking, cycling, jogging or riding. Facilities include the Bremer Schweiz Golf Course.
