The bee trail on the edge of town

The bee trail maintained by the Brome Beekeepers’ Association is on the western edge of Tülau and can be visited year-round at any time of day. The “Tülauer Kneipe” is located along the trail, where you can cool your feet. The trail and this opportunity to cool off are two specific ways to enjoy a stay connected to Tülau.

Church and landscape around Tülau

St. John’s Church in Tülau was built in 1929/1930 to plans by Adolf Schulze, a master carpenter from Fahrenhorst. The construction period, architect and his place of origin link the church to the history of the town.

The Kleine Aller drains the Kiebitz Moor, west of Tülau, through a system of ditches that has been gradually expanded over the last few centuries. This is not just a matter of a moor or a river in isolation: the ditch system and drainage describe a specific relationship between waterway and landscape. The church and Kiebitz Moor thus offer different perspectives on the area, one historical and the other landscape-related.
