쿠엔도르프‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 협곡

순수한 자연

It is very beautiful here with all those huge stones, when it rains the paths can be a bit slippery

It's truly beautiful here! Huge gorges and impressive cliffs.

From here, you can enjoy wonderful hikes along the Bentheim Cliffs. A very scenic area.

Beautiful, varied route over hill and dale. Sturdy shoes are highly recommended. The occasional climb should not be underestimated, but is absolutely worth seeing.

In the Franzosenschlucht near Bad Bentheim you can climb over sandstone rocks and walk through a hilly landscape. Behind the open-air stage in Bad Bentheim there is a forest area that is ideal for a walk and climbing: the Franzosenschlucht. The name comes from the fact that in 1795 French troops conquered Bentheim Castle. The soldiers are said to have set up camp in the hidden gorge. Today a road (B 403) runs through the gorge, with two hills rising on either side. On one is the open-air stage, on the other the forest area, both connected by a bridge. The hills owe their rock formations to a former quarry, the origins of which date back even further than the French siege. Sandstone has been mined in quarries in Bad Bentheim since the 11th century.

There are small paths through the quarry and in some places you can climb on the stones. Fun with children!

Narrow path along the top, down to the right and left. Beautiful view. No bike path. Soft forest floor. Nice for walking.
