Point-to-point
6th stage of the popular Hünenweg long-distance hiking trail
There is a very special megalithic tomb halfway along this day's stage from the Restrup megalithic tomb to Börstel Abbey. The Hekes megalithic tomb. This 53 metre long megalithic complex is still a mystery and is almost completely preserved.
The hiking trail continues into the Börsteler Wald forest, which rises up like an island from the otherwise flat lowlands. The Cistercian monastery, Börstel Abbey on the northernmost edge of the district of Osnabrück, is located in the middle of this quiet seclusion.
