Unterwegs im Teuto und rund um OWL & im Urlaub gerne hoch hinaus. Dabei darf es anstrengend, aber nicht gefährlich sein, dafür bin ich zu ungeschickt ;)

After my "Weserbergland March" resulted in a nasty cold and a correspondingly long break from activity, I took a short comeback hike today towards my old hometown of Telgte. The starting point was the parking lot at the Lauheide Forest Cemetery (idyllic and once voted Germany's most beautiful cemetery

After an eventful week, I had planned a very special hike for this Friday. I wanted to break my previous hiking mileage record, and of course, I wanted to do it on the most beautiful route possible (some might say it has something to do with a male midlife crisis, but I think that's just a rumor

Wistinghauser Senne - second attempt. After it was too icy for us there last Sunday, the planned route through the Wistinghauser Senne and then over the Tönsberg worked perfectly this time. The sun did disappear halfway through, contrary to all forecasts, but we warmed up with delicious soup, cake, and

After being laid low by a cold for two days, I absolutely had to get some fresh air today ✨ My hike took me from Isselhorst to the Marienfeld Monastery (café) and back, almost always along the Lutter River, including Luttersee and Hühnermoor. I even got to test out my new hiking boots and they were a

After the aborted snowshoe hike 1 in the Wistinghauser Senne and a cake break, we continued our much easier local loop along the Dalke river in its snowy coat until sunset :)

A stretch through the very crowded Wistinghauser Senne and back. We also saw some cross-country skiers :) Unfortunately, the paths were quite icy under the snow, so we shortened our planned route and stopped at Café Wildblume in Schloß Holte instead ;)

A beach bar and an alpine hut on one hike? And in our latitudes, no less? Ibbenbüren makes it possible – if you combine the Aasee lake with the Dörenther Cliffs. The hot chocolate with cream and a shot of liqueur tasted wonderful, but after the sunny days over Christmas, the weather was once again showing

Anyone can indulge in overindulging on Christmas Day, so as an alternative, a hike in the Teutoburg Forest between the Luisenweg and Entdeckerweg trails was on the agenda. The magnificent views under bright sunshine were, however, accompanied by VERY frosty temperatures, made even more so by a rather

In glorious (and completely unforeseen) weather, a typical standard hike through the Holter Forest, which was unsurprisingly busy today. Of course, a stop at the quaint Mühlcafé was included; this time I had tomato soup with cocoa – an unusual but very tasty combination :)
