Hollow Way at Schlossgraben, Bodelschwingher Forest

Highlight • Forest

Nice little round first through the fields, then through a forest. Very close way with many blackberries and brenessels. Many fallen trees but you come across great. Later then again a fortified way

The weather gods were kind to us 😀 Perfect hiking weather ☀️ However, some of the paths were very muddy and a tree thought it would block our way. ☕u 🧁 in the restaurant "Aunt Amanda" were also delicious

June 7, 2026,Dortmunder Skyline – Ländliche Idylle Runde von Frohlinde🌥🐴🌿🌱

After a nice family weekend (my parents' iron wedding anniversary), I took my brother and his family back to the train station at noon today and needed a breath of fresh air. So I stayed directly in Dortmund.
I had seen this route on Meet5 some time ago and saved it immediately. A nice and relaxed green route through forest …

April 13, 2025,Dortmunder Skyline – Ländliche Idylle Runde von Westerfilde

Week 15 and our 15th tour together in 2025

Our tour around Westerfilde surprised us with unexpectedly mountainous sections and beautiful natural passages. Right from the start, we quickly realized we were dressed far too warmly – the weather was much milder than expected. The varied route offered magnificent views of the Dortmund skyline as well as a quiet, rural …

October 13, 2022,BodelSchwing(h)!

I've always wondered why the suburb is called Bodelschwingh, now I know 😅.
That was a very fun little round. We also visited the old countesses and counts. But they weren't really talkative. Anyway, they just don't know what they're missing. 🤷‍♀️

November 26, 2023,Dorf-mund West. Alles rausgeholt, was an Farbe ging 💥

Surprisingly enjoyable, colorful Sunday tour of the dead through the rural northwest of Dortmund.
We crossed the A45 4 times, otherwise forests (be careful, very muddy), fields, views, the Bodelwickelh castle park and a mausoleum in the forest (appropriate for the day).
Not only a lot of 🐩🐕🐕‍🦺, but also 🐴 are taken for a walk here. A hiking group …

I got this tour from @Juanita, but I couldn't find the name of the trail.
Half of the trail is forest trails, the other half is dirt roads or back roads.
Those following should turn left at Aunt Amanda's: Crossing the trail twice and taking the connecting road are of no use.
