エンガーの天然記念物・トップ20

Located on the Spatzenberg (also called Löhner Berg), below the memorial cross, directly on the cycling and hiking path, is a marl pit, also known as the Grumkuhle (Grum Pit) to the long-established Falscheiders. The marl (Grum) mined here until the mid-20th century served as reinforcement material for agricultural paths, farms, and squares. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, this was a festival site. Today, it is a rest area for cyclists and hikers familiar with the area. You can take a relatively comfortable break on the large, semicircular stone blocks or on a bench nearby. An information board provides interesting facts about the Spatzenberg, its history, and its natural environment. The Spatzenberg, which was predominantly used for agriculture until the mid-20th century, is now half-forested again and a popular local recreation area.

You can enjoy cycling around Spatzenberg on well-maintained, car-free paths. However, there's no view from the top because the summit area is densely forested.

The supposed summit cross at the highest point of the Spatzenberg, also called Löhner Berg (96 m, according to Komoot/Open Street Map 101 m above sea level) is actually a memorial. At the foot of the cross, the short inscription reads: "Remembrance Cross. We warn." It was erected in 1954 by the "Association of Returnees" and commemorates the fate of the prisoners of war of World War II. Some historical background: In 1954/55, the last surviving German prisoners of war returned from the former Soviet Union. In 2006, the memorial cross was completely replaced. Those who venture up the steep and somewhat adventurous trail (preferably on foot) will find a wonderful place of silence and contemplation up there.

There are various trails on Spatzenberg, mostly running north-south. The paved paths lead through the beautiful forest. If visibility is good, the eastern dirt road is recommended. The compromise of limited comfort (condition, gradient) is rewarded with a magnificent view!

The Human Rights Park in Bielefeld is a beautiful green area located on Neustädter Straße. This park is ideal for relaxing, especially on hot summer days, as the Lutter River, which ran underground for many years, has been exposed here. The park also offers a playground and several sculptures, including the unique "Me Monument," which allows you to present yourself as a work of art. The park is ideal for a picnic or a leisurely stroll through the Neustädter district, where you will find many individual shops and cafes.

In the Human Rights Park, the Lutter, Bielefeld's river, which runs mostly underground, has been exposed. The park also has a children's playground and several sculptures. An information board points out that all people have inalienable rights, but not everyone can live them.

Beautiful, lovingly laid out path between apple trees dedicated to the songwriter Hannes Wader.
