Point to point
5th stage of the popular long-distance hiking trail Hünenweg
This day's stage leaves Ankum, but before that it's worth taking a tour of the parish church of St. Nikolaus, which is also known as the "Artland Cathedral" for good reason. The almost 80 meter high tower is a landmark visible from afar around Ankum.
The Hünenweg then leads along the beautiful Ankumer See up to the "Maiburg" hill, which is located in the Natura 2000 protection area.
