Nature around treestump

In the northern part of Hunte Valley, dinosaur tracks were discovered. The erected building is rainproof. Around Barkhausen are signs to museums/exhibitions. At Hunte Valley, explorers also find many ways that lead into the Wiehenhills.

The "Rote Pfahl" is a marker at the side of the Kalbsiekstrasse-road, where 19th century trader's route through Meesdorf is recorded. To move loaded wagons over the Bad Essen hill, traders had to use additional horses. The marker was used to signal to the traders the availability of a safe parking space. It represented, for other purposes a rallypoint, in case something uncommon ever happened (crimes, accidents, robberies, meetings, etc.).[2]

The 13 ton boulderflint at the Glockenstraße-crossroads shall remind visitors of the long history of Meesdorf.[3]

Etymological the village Meisdorf can be compared and is historically proven to have developed from with "Meyerstorp".
