Melkpatt Path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very rustic climb. The path is called Melkpatt. Presumably the cows are/were sent up to pasture here. Once at the top you have a beautiful view.

Sunny Clearing in Teutoburg Forest Nature Park

Highlight • Forest

unfortunately not in such good shape at the moment, but still a nice place for a break, provided you have something to put on, because all the seats are overgrown with moss.

October 16, 2022,Naturerbe-Wanderwelt 🥾Durbekesteig

On Sunday, with beautiful autumn weather, we set out to hike the Durbekesteig and look for all the photos for the scavenger hunt. The beech forest in autumn is simply magical. Leaves trickling on the paths in the sunshine, mushrooms in all possible shapes and colors are simply pretty eye-catchers and then there are beautiful views of Altenbeken and the …

The Durbekesteig is a nice, varied tour that initially goes through the beech forest and later on grassy paths along Altenbeken. There is a lot of wild garlic everywhere in the forest. It's definitely worth stopping by there during the flowering period in the next few weeks.

Today we were on the Durbekesteig again but in the opposite direction. A beautiful mix of open landscape with meadows and views as well as forest areas 🌳🌿🌲

A beautiful way. Wild garlic is blooming everywhere now. The forest floor is covered with it and it smells wonderful. Unfortunately, the "climb" consists mainly "still" of gravel hiking highway. I hope that will change as part of the "jungle project" in the coming years. So it's not "yet" a climb. The forest is beautiful. Finally, the view of the …

The hike leads from Altenbeken, mostly through a beech forest with blooming wild garlic. Towards the end of the hike, you'll have views of Altenbeken and the viaduct. The Durbeke River is currently running dry.

Today we were out and about in the northern Eggegebirge around Altenbeken. A wonderful hike through an intensely fragrant wild garlic landscape. Nature was in full bloom and offered great views of the impressive Altenbeken Viaduct again and again.
To round off the day perfectly, we relaxed with coffee and cake at the Museums-Deele Altenbeken.

Altenbeken is ideal for many hikes. Traveling by train from here is at least very relaxing, and you can often start walking directly from the station.
We made a detour to the bakery on the way to the Durbekesteig Trail and then set off.
Afterwards, we gradually walked along the stream into the countryside.
At a lovely rest area, we …
