The dinosaur tracks of Barkhausen are a natural monument in a disused quarry in the Linner Berg near Barkhausen on the Hunte, a district of the Lower Saxony municipality of Bad Essen in the district of Osnabrück. On the bedding planes of the rock, which is about 150 million years old (Middle Kimmeridgian), fossil tracks (sequences of fossil footprints) of sauropod and theropod dinosaurs from the late Upper Jurassic (Malm) are exposed.

A very well-maintained, privately owned palace complex. Hüffe Palace in Lashorst (built from 1775 to 1784) is the only building in the late Baroque Neoclassical style for miles around. Further information: https://www.baukunst-nrw.de/objekte/Schloss-Hueffe--1282.htm

The drinking water dispenser at this point, before the climb to Kahlen Wart, is a good place to fill up your bottle! However, it needs some attention: It's dripping! 😱 😱 😱

A bike ride from Melle to Bruchmühlen. Easy to ride because it's all on a bike path. Then to the bakery in Bruchmühlen for a coffee.
