담 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Not only is hiking great here, but mountain biking is also fantastic.

The fitness trail at the mountain lake, created in the early 1970s, was completely renovated in 2018. The expanded fitness trail invites you to exercise in the fresh air. Source: https://www.damme.de/

@Andreas Flug: I think we locals know better that this is NOT an anti-aircraft position.

It is clearly an abandoned gravel silo from the 1950s and 1960s and has no connection to the ammunition depot. I grew up in Handorf-Hellbusch, now Papendiek (1943-1967) and know the situation from my own experience. Two anti-aircraft emplacements for the protection of the ammunition depot were located on the Kattenberg, one at the top of the hill, the second downhill towards the Steinemann garden, formerly owned by Dr. Assmann. The picture on the button shows a view from the Kattenberg towards the ammunition depot/Wempenmoor. The property in the middle was my parents' house. This view is no longer possible today; the vegetation is too high and was planted by Dr. Assmann in the 1950s. Until then, this was an open area and the location of the two anti-aircraft emplacements.

In the Bexadde Valley, the Cardinal's Way crosses the Way of St. James. +++ The Cardinal's Way was inaugurated in October 2018 and is a 24.1 km long pilgrimage route leading from the former Benedictine monastery in Damme to Dinklage Castle. The route is named after Cardinal Clemens August Graf von Galen, who was born in Dinklage Castle. The Cardinal's Way is divided into four stages. At the beginning and end of each stage, there is a station marked by an iron stele. The five stations commemorate virtues that were exemplified by Blessed Cardinal Graf von Galen. Each stele bears a motto: "To be courageous," "to be steadfast," "to be determined," "to be alone (and together), and "to be simple."

Drinks break area 👍👏

It is a loading silo of a gravel washing plant that operated at this location until the mid-1960s (as far as I know, Riepenhoff).

The Dammer Bergsee is a unique feature of the Dammer Hills landscape. The lake was artificially created. Iron ore was mined approximately one kilometer away between 1939 and 1967. In order to recycle the sludge produced during the processing of the iron ore, a drainless reservoir was created in 1953 as a treatment pond, today's Dammer Bergsee. As recently as the 1970s, the landscape resembled an abandoned open-cast mine more than a natural paradise. Nature has since reclaimed the area. The Dammer Bergsee has been a nature reserve since 1995. It has become a popular local recreation area for walkers, athletes, and hikers. You can easily cycle or walk around it. https://www.damme.de/Kultur-Freizeit/Freizeit/Ausflugsziele/Dammer-Bergsee/
