Galgenberg Historical Execution Site

Highlight • Historical Site

There are some places steeped in history here. Very interesting and sometimes scary.
But in summer I can easily imagine the Galgenberg as an amphitheater or resting place.

Pollarded beech woodland in Naturpark Schwalm-Nette

Highlight • Forest

Looks great even in winter when the trees are bare. Then the unusual vertical structure - the long, emerging trunks and branches, which also orient themselves upwards very early on - becomes even clearer.

May 18, 2025,Nettetal - Runde um Kovermühle

A beautiful walk around the Kovermühle mill. Easy forest paths and plenty of benches. The Taubenberg observation tower was the highlight. The 136 steps were worth it. Shortly before the end of the tour, we stopped off at the beer garden of Haus Waldesruh (now a pancake house). 😋🥞

We were accompanied by the chirping of birds through Hinsbeck Switzerland along the Nette and the North Canal.
Nice tour with lots of forest, water and beautiful views.
There are also some historical places with display boards along the way.

February 13, 2022,Tour 05: DER TAUBENBERG - Unterwegs in Hinsbeck

That was a walk to our liking: great paths and trails, great weather and nature at its finest.

The start was right at the large parking lot at the youth hostel in Nettetal. We found the tour in the book “Niederrhein. Hikes for the soul" from Droste-Verlag.

I let komoot assign the tour title.

It's fine.

Even though no one was executed.

Nice walk in the snow.

With a snowball fight.

Well, I threw snowballs and got roasted for it.

Luckily, only verbally.

We enjoyed it, quite nice. 😉
