The route runs largely on the Drostelandschaft Lyrikweg: lyrikweg.net

Parking at Haus Rüschhaus.

Unfortunately, the area around Hülshoff Castle could not be accessed because there is a winter break here from January 1st, 2024 - February 13th, 2024.

Poetry Trail - Hülshoff Castle to Haus Rüschhaus and back

There were four of us hiking today: Dieter, who hosted us, Monika, Hilmar, and Susa.

The weather was foggy and overcast all day. The photos weren't so cheerful, but the mood was still really good 👍

Beautiful scenery, but unfortunately the path is mostly paved. And poorly signposted, so we were headed in the right direction by chance. Because of a garden fair/exhibition, we couldn't get in at Hülshoff Castle, which is a shame. Such events happen frequently there, so it's best to check in advance!

Shopping in Münster took longer, so the hike was a bit shorter. Still a very nice tour, ideally suited for sunny autumn and spring days. Delicious coffee and cake in Hülshoff Castle and many information boards on the way about the lady who annoyed us as teenagers with the Jewish beech and the boy in the moor 😉 The Lyrikweg …

Nice tour in the footsteps of Annette von Droste Hülshoff. Well signposted. There is a separate app for the tour: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.droidsolutions.lyrikweg&hl=de
If you want to read all the information boards and use the audio and text files available via QR code, you have to plan a lot of time.

Have you always wanted to hike in the footsteps of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff? See in which only heated room in Hülshoff Castle she was born, which environment influenced you back then and where you wrote the Jewish beech in the Rüschhaus 7km away or where your favorite herb bush is in the garden there? You don't just want to hike, …
