Alone and Far from Everything
A piece of meadow near Nortrup in Osnabrücker Land, with no address and no road to the door. The last 400 meters of access are unpaved; in wet conditions, all-wheel drive helps. Then: fields, a few old trees, a small stream that winds past the site. No street lights at night, but water and the rustling of things in the dark. You're here as a guest of the wildlife, so keep it quiet and keep your dog on a leash. A fire bowl is ready. It's about 39 kilometers to Osnabrück.1
What Hinterland writes
„No roads, no cars, no houses, no neighbors, no artificial light, no manicured lawn. Just meadows and fields, a couple of old trees and a small, very clean brook that winds directly past the site.“

Sights in the area1
Osnabrück
The City of Peace, some 39 km away: the 1648 Peace of Westphalia was partly negotiated in its town hall. The old town of merchant houses carries a rainy day.
Hasetal
The Hase river winds through the Artland toward the Ems, a shallow river for paddling. Cycle paths follow the banks, made for windless afternoons.
Artland
The countryside north of Osnabrück, known for old oaks and half-timbered farms. A quiet ride between fields when the site turns too still.
