Hiking

The best time to visit is of course usually August when the heather is in full bloom. But all other seasons are also beautiful in this unique landscape.

Hiking

Hikes of different lengths are color-coded on a map and the path is then marked with the same color. So you can extend your round from 2 km - small to over 13 km, depending on how you can and want. Numerous benches on the way invite you to linger. A beautiful piece of earth.

Hiking

While large areas of the region were still covered with heathland at the beginning of the 19th century, today the Westruper Heide is a remnant of that time. The approximately 90-hectare heath is in the immediate vicinity of the Haltern reservoir.
