Loop

This long-distance hike begins in the pilgrimage town of Telgte and crosses the lush parkland of the Münsterland region before climbing up to the ancient ridge of the Teutoburg Forest. It passes through a landscape steeped in history. The terrain changes from flat paths along the riverbank to challenging forest climbs. The ridge known as the "Münsterlandblick" offers sweeping panoramic views across the North German Plain. A beautiful highlight is the ruins of Tecklenburg Castle, once a mighty hilltop castle and now home to a renowned open-air theater.
