エンガーの峡谷・トップ5

A nice place to linger along the route.

Anyone who goes for a walk in the Doberg rarely gets their feet wet these days. Things were completely different 30 million years ago! At that time the North Sea still stretched here with a water depth of around 20 meters. Toothed whales and manatees lived in this shallow prehistoric sea. The most famous discovery was made by a worker in the marl pit: in 1912, he discovered the almost completely preserved skeleton of a manatee. The Doberg manatee is actually the earliest known ancestor of today's manatee manatees. Even apart from this important discovery, the Doberg is a fascinating natural spectacle. However, some unofficial paths are now blocked with chains or fences due to nature conservation. The main path and the paths around the forest offer enough insights.

Somewhat obscure place in the last curve before the mill coming from Spenge.

A beautiful and well-paved side road leads through this marked highlight without a lot of traffic. At its lowest point, you also cross the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Coming from the west you first have a beautiful view over the landscape towards the south and can relax and roll into the small valley. There is gravel in the tight bends, so you shouldn't climb through there too quickly.

Nice path through the meadows and fields.

Somewhat bizarre and quite noticeable rock formation. Very nice corner.

Beautiful rocks and cliffs with fossils

Beautiful nature reserve with unique fossil finds. Easy to drive through with an all-terrain bike.
