On the way into the heath forest to the border it is quiet and lonely, and the border path itself is also deserted.
Along the double Landwehre, old defensive walls from the 15th century, I approach the Hinsbecker Bruch, then turn my steps south and finally meet the Nette at the Leuther Mühle.

"... The term Landwehr, Landgraben and Landhege refers to border marking or border security structures and enclosures of settlement areas with the right to enclose entire territories. These settlement protection systems are mostly dated to the High and Late Middle Ages and in individual cases are over a hundred kilometers long.
These landwehrs are still preserved in some regions - especially in forest areas - and are often protected as archaeological monuments. ..."
