    Great hiking trails around the Venekoten lake along the water and through the forest.

      We have already walked several of the 'Wasser.Wander.Welten' hiking routes and were always impressed. The Schwalmbruch premium hiking trail did not disappoint us either, but offered an entertaining and varied circular hike. The Maas-Schwalm-Nette Nature Park is a truly fantastic destination with a magical natural idyll and offers a good opportunity to escape from everyday life. I can highly recommend the Schwalmbruch premium hiking trail, I really liked it and it is also very easy to walk. Beautiful views, forest and moorland landscapes alternate here.

        The Schwalmbruch trail takes you through one of the most beautiful and diverse areas of the Schwalm-Nette Nature Park. The area is known for its wet heathlands, peaty grasslands, small streams, and rare plants and animals. Especially in spring and summer, you'll encounter flowering heath orchids and countless dragonflies.

        The landscape is constantly changing: from tranquil forests to open peatlands and along waterways where, with a bit of luck, you might spot kingfishers or even beaver tracks. The well-marked trails offer both short circular walks and longer hikes.
