March 26, 2022,Wanderung Witte Veen Alstätte

After a bulk purchase at our favorite Dutch coffee shop ☕ just across the border, we absolutely had to hike the Witte Veen. We were not disappointed. Swamp sections with boardwalks, highland cattle face to face, nice quiet trails. We will repeat the next time we shop for coffee!

One of our favorite rounds here in Münsterland. Anyone who walks the whole loop will definitely meet the "free" highland cattle somewhere. But you can also shorten something if the way is too far. Afterwards it is definitely worth stopping at the Haarmühle and also visiting the old mill itself.

October 6, 2024,Witte Veen, Haarmühle, rondje langs de grens tussen Buurse en Alstätte.

🥾🥾The Witte Veen near Haarmühle is a very beautiful nature reserve in the border area. If you are looking for peace and quiet, do not go there at the weekend because it is very busy with hikers and cyclists. 😔
Beautiful fens, heathland, prairie-like areas, deciduous forest and a piece of Rhododendron forest that will probably also be very beautiful …

April 16, 2023,Stege im Wald – Witte Veen Runde von Alstätte

A beautiful hiking route on only beautiful forest / hiking trails. Start and finish is on the German side of the border, but after a few meters you are in the Netherlands. Free-ranging Highland cattle graze in Witte Veen, wonderful!

September 21, 2022,Witte Veen Runde von Alstätte - Haarmühle

The starting point is the car park at the Haarmühle. Relatively quickly you pass a heathland. When it blooms, it must look great. It goes past forests and meadows until you come to a small lake. Unfortunately, it was pretty dry. Again and again you walk through rhododendron forests. Somewhere on the route you will usually see the free-roaming Galloway …
