Attractions

In the forest north of Varnhorn in the direction of the Aue there are two Neolithic tombs, the Schmeersteine large stone grave and the Mühlensteine ​​large stone grave . Both come from the Neolithic beaker culture (3500–2800 BC).

A side note in history is the overnight stay of Emperor Napoleon I in a sheepfold built in Varnhorn in 1811. The emperor is said to have spent the night there on one of his campaigns in the so-called French period (1811-1813) - during which Visbek belonged to the French Hanseatic Département de l'Ems-Supérieur (department of the Upper Ems) - because of a wheel damage to his carriage . The Varnhorn local coat of arms, which depicts a sheepfold, also refers to this episode. However, there is no guarantee that this was actually the case.
