베스터카펠른 주변 최고의 그래블 라이딩 코스

From the small promontory on the western shore of Lake Rubbenbruch, you have a fantastic view across the water. The lake was created as a result of sand extraction for the construction of the A30 motorway. It reached its current size in March 1991. Today, it measures approximately 24 hectares and is up to 24 meters deep in some places.

The Mittelland Canal is Europe's longest artificial waterway in Germany. It connects the Weser, Ems, and Rhine-Palatinate-Danube Canal, traverses flat, predominantly rural landscapes, and serves both commercial and recreational purposes. Ships navigate smoothly through wide canals, with locks, bridges, and green surroundings.

The Düte rises in the Teutoburg Forest, flows from Georgsmarienhütte through the western part of Osnabrück's city center, and empties into the Hase River in Lotte-Wersen, North Rhine-Westphalia. The Fauna-Flora-Habitat area encompasses a river stretch of approximately 31 kilometers in length in the district and city of Osnabrück. Within the city, the entire river course and some widened areas, with a length of a good 13 kilometers, are part of the Natura 2000 protected area system. In large sections of the urban stretch, the Düte is still characterized by a meandering course. The banks are often still covered with a typical woody cover of alder and ash, or tree and shrub willows. Many sections of the river have a near-natural appearance and are often classified as specially protected biotopes. Nevertheless, significant problems exist from a water hydraulic perspective. In recent decades, significant erosion of the riverbed and banks has occurred, resulting in depressions. As a visible consequence of this erosion, existing woody plants may be threatened by undercutting.

A great route along the Hörsteler Aa

A beautiful bridge to cross the Hase.

A truly great path along the Aa. I usually enjoy discovering new paths, but this one is always a highlight.

Along the canal and always straight ahead...

Beautiful forest path. Wonderful for cycling.
