June 4, 2023,Wanderung Schloß Westerwinkel u. NSG Lichterloh

Did a nice hike in the southern district of Coesfeld today in the best weather. Again, many thanks to the forerunner. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes discovered us as victims at every break, even if it was only for a very short time :-(
The hike ended up being a bit asphalt heavy. All in all a very nice round!

Except for the area around Westerwinkel Castle - although it was a Sunday - not many people were out and about. The silence with beautiful …

Today, on the 3rd day of vacation, because I was too lazy to walk the long way to the train station, I took the public bus via Herbern to the train station in Capelle, which is outside the village, right in the middle of the three forest areas of Westerwinkel, Ichterloh and Himmelskamp, the Ascheberg part of Ichterloh. 🌳
