The stairs are slippery there. I live on Patern Schürmann Street; I won't say the number.

❗ Please note! Opening hours: Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment ❗ Beautifully landscaped vegetable and kitchen garden belonging to the Meyer family (former Westendorf farmstead, Herbergen). A long-term project for environmentally sustainable use in a historical context. Good to know: A Karlsgarten (Charlemagne's garden) is a garden that translates Charlemagne's garden concept from around 800—useful plants that should be cultivated sensibly—into the present day.

The gorge systems, called Tangen, are typical of this area, which is now a nature reserve. Tang is Low German and means "pincer" or "branch." The term describes the waterways that originated in the Maiburg and cut deep, branching valleys into the terminal moraine landscape. An information board on site provides detailed information about the formation of the Ankum Heights and the Maiburger Tangen.

As far as I could find, the municipalities of Kettenkamp, Eggermühlen, Berge, and Menslage meet here. The Hekeser Weg is unpaved here and has rough gravel in places.
