Beautiful hike through the forest, along the Ems and the Dortmund Ems Canal. After the hike, you can refresh yourself after a hard day's work in the green Jäger. There is also an outdoor terrace right on the canal, from where you can watch the ships passing by.

Today I hiked a quiet route along the canal and the Ems in great spring weather. I think you can not only see spring but also hear it 🐦‍⬛ and smell it.
A large part of the path is paved, but there is no risk of mud.
