Narrow Pättken Path

Beautiful route between Borghorst and Nordwalde

Anyone who knows the Münsterland also knows the extra-narrow spaces between fields. Fast connections between villages far away from any traffic. But: it is not advisable for people who are unfamiliar with the area to drive on these paths after dark. The journey could quickly end in the field. Oncoming traffic is irrelevant. First of all, there is hardly any and if there is, then both can switch to the green in such a way that it is not a problem to drive.

Would you like a little Low German declension? de Patt –> the path, dat Pättken –> the small path, dëi Pättkes –> the small paths. So: there is no such thing as “Ein Pättkes”... No offense! Single-lane Pättkes are a speciality of the Münsterland and Osnabrück regions.
