It was a new discovery for me today. The roof appears to have been recently maintained, meaning moss and lichen were removed. Now the sheepfold looks like new again. And …

August 6, 2022,Wacholderpatt

The Wacholderpatt in Börger is a wonderful hiking trail that mainly leads through forests. If you follow the signs on site, you will be rewarded with tree trunks lying across the path.
As part of the trail is in the WTD shooting range, this tour should only be taken on weekends.

January 2, 2022,Hümmling Pfade - Wacholderpatt

A nice hike over the Hümmling. Sandy paths lead through the woodland in the north of Börger. Passing Bronze Age burial mounds, which are hidden between trees and moss, one arrives at a landscape that was once defining for the humpback: a juniper grove in the middle of a heather. A historic sheepfold invites you to take a short break. …

August 26, 2023,Hümmling-Pfade: Wacholderpatt🥾🥾

Hiking a little different today.
A nice guided tour with Reinhold Stehr, through the woodland in the north of Börger, with lots of donkes around Börger
Started a little wet at the beginning, but then 🌤

Note: The hiking trail can only be walked from Fri. 2 p.m. to Sun, as the route partly runs through the military firing range …

Today I walked the entire juniper patch. Done again as an Emsland biathlon. So I arrived and departed by bike. 😉

April 26, 2026,Ein zweiter Blick auf den Wacholderpfad

A second look at the Wacholderpfad – and suddenly even familiar paths seem completely different. Between forest, open areas, and small details along the wayside, the tour reveals itself anew again and again – also because we already walked it in the opposite direction in 2023.

The next beautiful hike on the Hümmling paths is the Juniper Patt. This almost 10 km long tour leads through the forests in the north of Börger. There is a lot to discover on this hike.

The Wacholderpatt is my favorite hiking trail in the Hümmling Nature Park. It goes through forests for miles, so the current east wind is not noticeable. The trails were easy to walk on. There were a few places that were quite muddy. I took a photo of one of them. You can clearly see that there was space to move …
