Heath Edge Trail in Naturpark Hohe Mark - Westmünsterland

Highlight • Trail

Very nice path with lots of beautiful nature.
Partly forest, partly heath and also beautiful corners to linger and enjoy.
You can only hear the noise of the nearby street in the background, but that doesn't really bother you.

August 23, 2025,Westruper Heide – Westruper Heide Runde von Haltern-Mitte

A very beautiful route, difficult in some places with an outdoor walker. But it was worth it 😊

After my better half didn’t like cycling today, we went back to Westruper Heide and did a little lap in wonderful autumn weather through colorful forests, along the lake and back through the heath.

May 21, 2023,Westruper Heide und Haltener See und dann noch JUPP.

I've wanted to go there for a long time. Even without the heather in bloom, the Westruper Heide is a beautiful area. Then a little bit along the lake and there was a little refreshment at Jupp 🥤. Nice weather, nice area, nice walk, happy on sunday. 😁😎

August 12, 2025,Westruper Heide Runde von Haltern Seehof -Jupp unner de Boecken

Another trip to the Westrup Heath this year... We caught the best time, everything is blooming beautifully, and there are purple carpets of heather to marvel at. A wonderful tour... shortened due to the heat. The reward was Jupp's - a visit there is a must! 🌸😍🤩🌲🌳

August 6, 2024,Westruper Heide – Halterner Stausee

A nice walk through the Westruper Heide followed by a visit to the seaside resort of Haltern. In the warm weather, the boys enjoyed the water and we sat in the sand in the beach chair 😄

October 24, 2022,Runde um die Westruper Heide – Hohe Mark -Halterner Stausee

Today we were at Hslternwer See or in the surrounding nature reserve. It's not called Wiltruper Heide for nothing, the typical heath landscape is beautiful to look at.
Extensive paths allow an interesting route.

The Halterner See is impressive and we only saw a small part. We will definitely come back there again.
