October 31, 2021,Venner Moor kreuz und quer

We didn't even have on our radar that there was a real moor highlight with a history of peat extraction in the immediate vicinity of Münster and the Dortmund-Ems Canal. Well worth it for a nice Sunday or evening stroll. Various lengths can be run over the loops.

We did the tour once before in August 2021. Despite the not so great weather and the crowds this time 🙈😅, it was another great tour.

Given the beautiful weather, I spontaneously decided to repeat my tour from February through the Venner Moor.
A dream with the autumn colors.
I think the pictures speak for themselves.
At the beginning I had to go to 2 places because... Flooding, get onto the road for a moment, otherwise the mud was manageable and only present in short sections. …

The Venner Moor is so close and not yet explored by us. That should change today. The hike through the former high moor turned out to be very diverse. Different types of forests, in between water-filled peat cuttings, a small heather area, the route partly via a boardwalk, simply beautiful. We have extended the hike a little to the Dortmund-Ems …

July 30, 2022,NSG Venner Moor / Bohlen Weg / Kanal

Today I ended up in the Münsterland. I had saved a route through the NSG Venner Moor offered on komoot. The boardwalk in particular appealed to me because of the photos. I started from the hiking car park directly at the canal bridge. Although there is already a sign pointing to Bohlenweg, I stuck to the original route. I didn't …

Nobody & no money in the world can give us what we already have.
It's a shame that it's us who take everything from nature that it can give us.

After the last mega tour on Sunday, when I was with a 5.3 average, in a total of 14 hours. 53Km & 1150Hm rocked. Now follows a relaxed walk through …

April 3, 2023,Post-Corona-Tour - Venner Moor

After a forced break of several weeks (had a visit from Uncle Corona), there was some movement again for the first time today.
What a blessing!
The small circuit around the Venner Moor was just right for this.
Great landscape and the weather also played along 😍. I'm exhausted and happy for today.
By the way, the tour was by …
