Reckfort Sheep Farm

Highlight • Historical Site

This listed building exudes charm. It's over 400 years old and very well-maintained. A sheep farm operates on the property, and you can purchase various lambskin and wool products made on-site in the farm shop.

September 15, 2023,Greven - Gimbte - Hansell - Altenberge - Nordwalde - Greven 🚴🚴‍♀️☀️😎

We started today in Greven in very nice cycling weather towards Gimbte. ☀️😎

The Ems has overflowed its banks in some areas following heavy rainfall. Planned routes were closed due to flooding. 🌧🚳

Past the Hanseller Mill

Today we decided to do the sloe route. It is one of the nature routes in the district of Steinfurt. This is a very beautiful route that runs through rural areas. Partly a little rough ground, but easy to drive. A recommendation - also because it can be started directly at the train station in Greven and ends there again. …
