    Tips

    Today, for a large part of the route, the motto is “Everything often, or what?”; a vast area united under this name; since we are walking a "slanted figure eight", we cross it twice today.

      "We are in the Oefter Forest and thus in the former" glory "Oefte. Mathias Weber, known as the Fetzer, is said to have been up to mischief here alongside other gangs of robbers. He and his gang made the Rhineland unsafe for eight years, until he was beheaded in Cologne in 1802.
      In the Oefter Wald, the JACKE colliery dismantled the jacket that ran through the brook valley. JACKE is mentioned for the first time in 1778. In 1900, the mining field was transferred to PAULINE. Several shafts were created to mine near the surface. JACKE had a maximum of 11 employees and in 1838 a maximum production of 1,400 t / a.
      House Oefte (Uvithi) is mentioned in a document around 820. The knight seat Oefte was a fiefdom of the Reichsabtei Werden in the Middle Ages and passed to the Counts of Schulenburg at the beginning of the 19th century. They had the facility rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. Today the facility is used by a golf club.
      The unfortunate Kunigunde is said to be haunted here today. She was killed by her husband, the knights Eberhard von Oefte and Arminia, who fled to Oefte after the Lüttelnau Castle (Kattenturm) was destroyed. Kunigunde later appeared as the ghost of Arminia, whereupon she moved to Saarn monastery and repented there all her life. "
