Oldenburg, located 50 km west of Bremen, is considered part of the greater Bremen area. There are some nice parks and waterfront paths for running in Oldenburg.
Schloss Oldenburg & Eversten Holz. Run beautifully landscaped palace garden paths of the Schloss Oldenburg, a castle until 1918 and now an excellent museum. Combine with the more wooded Eversten Holz, just west, for a nice 6 km run. ROUTE MAP
Hunte River Path. Google Street View
Waterfront Paths. There are numerous attractive waterfront paths in Oldenburg. From the port (Hafen), run for up to 3.5 km along the Osternburger Kanal. (ROUTE MAP). We also love running along the multi-use paths along the Hunte River. Starting at the Schleuse Oldenburg (locks), it’s a loop of up to 8.5 km. (ROUTE MAP). The waterfront paths can be combined, and also can be accessed from the southern end of the Schloss Gardens (run through the Stadium grounds paths) for some fun combo routes.
Hunte River East Multi-Use Path. For a longer, off-road run, a multi-use path runs along the Hunte River for up to 8 km east to the Moorhauser Polder nature preserve. MAP
Lake Loops. Drielaker See (Lake), 3 km east of the center, has a fun, quick 2.6 km loop path. Can combine with Hunte River west path, above. We also love the 3.2 km loop around the Tweelbäker See (Lake), 7 km southeast of the center.

A classic European river run. There are paths along both sides of the Weser River, with terrific water views. A full loop, starting just west of the historic center, is 14 km. Numerous other paths and parks in the area allow for variations.
Waterfront park in the Rablinghausen section of Bremen with a 3.5 km path along the Weser River. Mainly open with fields, river views, and a running track in the center of the park. Can be accessed from central Bremen.
Another one of a series of attractive waterfront routes in Bremen. This 10k loop is along paths on both sides of the Kleine Weser ('little Weser'), and has a pastoral, park-like feel. Options to vary & combine with our Weser River route.
The Wallanlagen is a linear park built in the 18th century on the site of the city's walls, alongside the Stadtgraben River. Paths line both sides of the river, making for an easy and attractive 5.75 km loop. River views and lovely landscaping.
Classic European park, with gorgeously landscaped grounds, winding paths, oak-lined allées. There are woods, lake paths, grassy areas, and even a special Finnbahn running path. Perimeter loop is 5.75 km. Add on with Stadtwald just north.
A nice spot for a standalone run or done in combination with Bürgerpark. Several km of crisscrossing wooded paths, a 1.5 km lake loop, and jaunt through University of Bremen campus, which has a great running track.
A terrific 10k run along a multi-use path through a wildlife refuge, looping back with a section along the Wümme river and Suhrfleet stream. Open terrain, in a green floodplain, with pretty views. Can combine with our Stadtwald route.
Some nice running in this port city on Germany's north sea coast. We've mapped two attractive waterfront routes showcasing Neuer Hafen and Unterfeuer, which can be combined. Bürgerpark & Park Reinkenheide are also good for running.
