View of the Furlbach Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Furlbach has created a valley here through the sandy, soft soil. A very beautiful and shallow river with a natural flow. Great area for hiking!

Furlbach Valley

Highlight • River

Great little winding forest paths along the Furlbach, sometimes up and down, sometimes nicely rooted: It's great for a walk or hike here.

Bentteiche Ponds in the Upper Furlbach Gorges

Highlight • Lake

The Bente ponds are a highlight of the extra class. Clay for brick production used to be mined in the area. The hollows dug out filled with water, and biotopes were created.

Today we had a nice, entertaining hike with a nice Meet-5 group. In the first part of the tour we hiked through the Moosheide nature reserve with heather still in bloom, wide meadows and pine forests. At the beginning we also passed the source of the Ems. In the second part of the tour we were in the idyllic Furlbachtal …
