View of the Dortmund-Ems Canal

Highlight • River

265 kilometers lie between Dortmund and the sea - always straight ahead on the Dortmund-Ems Canal. It connects the Ruhr area with the North Sea - leads through industry and nature, through ports, cities and over 40 locks, past anglers, cyclists and excursion restaurants. Gigantic freight ships slowly make their way, only twelve kilometers per hour are allowed.

Million Bridge - view of the wet triangle

Highlight • River

The so-called "wet triangle", near Hörstel-Bergeshövede in the Tecklenburger Land region, refers to the waterway triangle where the Mittellandkanal (MLK) branches off from the Dortmund-Ems-Kanal (DEK) at km 108.35 and crosses the Teutoburg Forest. The ridge here shows a striking, natural incision (Gravenhorster gorge) between the Huckberg and Bergeshöveder Berg, which follows the MLK.

Dortmund-Ems Canal

Highlight • River

Nice bike path along the canal, although it is "uninteresting" here by mountain bike. But a great route for running and inlining.

View of the Hockendes Weib

Highlight • Viewpoint

The four kilometer long Dörenther cliffs in the Teutoburg Forest in Ibbenbüren are powerful, mystical and impressive. If you hike here, you also take a walk on the beach. This may sound a bit surprising at first, but with a little digression into the history of the earth, the veil lifts: The beach is quite old and the sand has now turned to stone. Tectonic forces brought the sandstone layers back to the surface and have shaped the landscape with the bizarre chain of rocks ever since. "Outstanding" individual rocks are - in the truest sense of the word - the Dreikaiserstuhl in the eastern part and the Crouching Woman, around which a tragic legend is entwined, in the western part of the cliffs.

Old Mill Brochterbeck

Highlight • Monument

A gem in the middle of Brochterbeck. There's ice cream right next to the mill. So you can take a little break and enjoy the clatter of the mill.
