"Poaters Pättken," the path once used by the monks of Burlo Monastery to reach Höpingen, is now considered by connoisseurs to be the most beautiful cycling route in the Münsterland region. At times, the view sweeps over the diverse landscape of the Baumberge Mountains, then the narrow forest path narrows and is lined with tall trees on both sides, resembling a hollow way.

A beautiful, approximately 2 km long forest path between Darfeld and Eggerode. It's very easy to ride, but you should dismount as a precaution if you encounter oncoming traffic.

Great path, like a narrow-gauge railway line, only through the forest.

The stable belongs to the former Kleinburlo monastery and used to be a brewery. Not much remains of the Kleinburlo monastery today. It was called Maria Weingarten (Vinea Mariae). The monastery was closed in 1803/12. The church and the monastery connected to it were completely demolished (1826) except for the foundation walls that are still hidden in the ground. Of the few buildings that were not demolished, the "Burloer Mühle" grain mill and the brewery (stables see photo) belong to it. Not much remains of the inventory auctioned in 1804, for example: the prior's chair and the altar in the Eggerode Chapel of Grace (it is assumed that it comes from Kleinburlo) For more information, see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloster_Kleinburlo

The former grain mill (called Burloer Mühle) and the former brewery were outbuildings of the Kleinburlo monastery. There are no visible remains of the monastery today. Repair and renovation work is currently taking place on the privately owned buildings. It is particularly worth taking a look at the half-timbered facade of the pretty brewery with bricks and incorporated ornaments.

These old half-timbered houses take you to the past. Well worth a visit. The houses are currently under construction.
