Please check local regulations for: Naturpark Hohe Mark - Westmünsterland
Location: Ruhr Region, Münster District, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
If the visibility is good and the conditions are clear, you can see the Green Fairy and possibly the Blue Goblin here:-)
What I mean is the green glow. When the sun disappears behind the horizon, green appears at the very last moment and, with a lot of luck, blue. Thanks to Corona, it has become more likely. I was up there with my cell phone, but I couldn't capture it.

The view from the tiller, especially in the evenings in the setting sun, is terrific, the atmosphere is like a lunar landscape, the small amphitheater is quite sheltered and cozy, the small plateau with the totems as back support is, if it is not too windy, a good place for a little break.This is actually mountain bike terrain, but also with a crosser, cross country bike or an adventure racer you come up here. There are about three options with the Renner:
- In the north, a gravel road up the mountain
- In the south of the pretty steep Stations of the Cross with tight bends, also gravel
- In the east the asphalt ramp also called mousetrap, because it is bounded below by the Franz-Haniel which you can not cross, coming from below you can ride the highlight singletrack "way out of the mousetrap" with 28er tires mostly good, only the small piece at the beginning of the Hangman Trail is on a road bike rather only walkable, alternatively, of course, you can also come from above.The Wikipedia description provides sufficient information about the history and the data

One with the largest and highest heaps in the Ruhr area. Unfortunately not suitable for racing bikes, as there are no asphalted climbs and the gravel paths are sometimes very rough. A visit is definitely worth it, especially because of the unique totem installation on the summit
