Ottoshöhe Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top you have a very nice view of Melle. When the weather is good, you can see the power plant in Ibbenbüren from the Ottoshöhe or see Osnabrück as far as the Piesberg.

May 21, 2024,Elmo u Cleo nochmal gemeinsam im Zwickenbachtal

Once again together with my daughter and Cleo we were out and about in the Zwickenbachtal 🙃

May 11, 2024,Elmo lernt das "geplatzte Sofakissen" kennen 🤣🤣

My adult daughter has now also "got a dog"....an 8-month-old miniature spitz (second hand dog)
Cleo is still VERY unsure (she has hardly experienced anything 🙈😢)....at first she also "barked" at Elmo...but she quickly realized that Elmo was not dangerous and she became more and more relaxed and was able to enjoy the walk (to everyone's delight)
