Alma Spring (Schwarze Welle)

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful spring pool that helps the hare thrive, as liters of water bubble up from the earth at a temperature of about 7 to 9 degrees Celsius. It's also an ideal spot for a short rest.

Woodland Trail with Wooden Bridges in Natur- und Geopark TERRA.vita

Highlight • Trail

That's how I like my paths: adventurous, enchanted, with water, footbridges, fallen trees and dark pine forests along the way. A scene like from the Shire.

Ridge Trail in the Teutoburg Forest

Highlight • Trail

In my opinion, the most beautiful part of the Hermannsweg (stage 4, Bad Iburg to Borholzhausen). Narrow, rocky, special flora and the most beautiful views from both sides (north and south) of the ridge!

Hankenüll Historic Boundary Stone

Highlight • Monument

One of the intermediate peaks on the ridge, but here rather inconspicuous and without a special view.

If the weather is great, this tour starts and finishes at Café Beutling.

Very varied and includes a few elevation gains. There are two observation towers along the route. After the tour, the café is inviting. It's lovingly decorated and the prices are very reasonable.

I highly recommend it.

October 16, 2022,(Fast) Rund um den Beutling

Went hiking in the most glorious October weather. It was supposed to be a circular route, but a local resident blocked the hiking trail that leads to the Hasequelle and probably a bit across his property for personal reasons (doesn't like hikers?) and we had to walk back part of the way and thus skip the Hasequelle. It was still …
