Hiking

"Dat Lohmännken" or "The Lohmännchen" is a sculpture that was donated by the CDU senior citizens' association of the city of Haltern in 2001 and designed by the Dutch artist Jan Willem te Kulve. It is reminiscent of the horror stories that are told about a piece of forest called "Loh" near Haltern. In the past, if you made your way through the forest on foot, the story goes that a "monkey" only 1 meter tall jumped onto the path, frightened the pedestrians and threatened them.
