Tecklenburg Witches' Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Witches' Trail runs south of the Hermannsweg, halfway up the trail. Narrow paths constantly change from up to down and are sometimes very steep. Well worth the walk.

Historic wall on the Herrmannsweg

Highlight • Historical Site

It's nice to see how painstakingly and well the stones were fitted together in the past. Unfortunately, there are still people who have to build cairns out of them.

June 20, 2025,Zuidhellingpad Teutoburgerwoud – Hol pad Krause Buche rondtocht vanuit Brochterbeck

South slope path Teutoburgerwald in Germany. The section from Brochterbeck to Lengerich with Tecklenburg in the middle. I walked this path from Tecklenburg. A beautiful route with on one side views of hilly landscape and on the other side hilly forest. Part of the south side used to be a limestone mining area. You walk along former quarries. The former …

Here the path climbs for the first time to reach the Dreikaisersthul rock formation in the Dörenther Klippen nature reserve. From here you have a fantastic view of the Bocketal. The path now …

Well, I'm finally done with the post-processing of the pictures from our second tour last weekend. Since I have known how perfectly biometric face recognition software works and that it is often used illegally, I have endeavored to anonymize human faces in my photos, and I also retouch car license plates whenever possible. Photos of buildings with perspectives that are …

Combined the route from the mountain path with the CanyonBlick via Komoot. Aside from one section that was very overgrown (better to stay on the Hermannsweg there and back), it was a very nice hike.
