Tips

Flitzpiepe aus Wengern

December 10, 2024

Hiking

After the silting up of the former "Three Ponds" in the Borbach Valley and the subsequent renaturation of the Borbach, this section of the path is particularly idyllic.

Hiking

The most beautiful section of the university hiking trail from Dortmund to Bochum. A really beautiful forest with numerous watercourses and small ponds. Really idyllic and wonderfully soft hiking trails.

On Sundays when the weather is nice, you're usually not alone here for long.
