Narrow Forest Path by the Lakes

Highlight • Trail

The trail not only runs between the trees 🌳, but also past the lakes (ponds). It's worth it, but there are always lots of cyclists coming your way there, as the trail is integrated into the junction system.

View of Bentheim Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful old castle from the 11th century. Supposed to be the largest and most beautiful castle complex in north-west Germany. The castle can also be visited from the inside.

July 24, 2024, Schöner Weg an der Dinkel – Schöner Weg Runde von Bad Bentheim

In itself a very relaxed route for gravelling BUT! Even if the Dinkel is only slightly flooded, some paths are impassable and 2 sections are even officially closed. I already got wet feet on the Goorbach near the Drilandsee and the new paved path along the Dinkel was completely under water. When the weather is good, the tour will be repeated again :)

From Bad Bentheim to De Oelemars. A very beautiful area with great trails, waterways, and forest areas. There's a lookout tower at De Oelemars. https://www.komoot.de/tour/2157173368?ref=aso&share_token=aOtZjGi0HvDwZ0p7AX2MMXCtXsN6u31Q4LWz1pijuCoaYIcjFB
