Even in the otherwise relatively flat Münsterland region, there are beautiful viewpoints. Here, on the edge of the Ichterloh, at 99 meters above sea level, is the highest point in the municipality of Nordkirchen. A relaxing view of the Capelle district and the Kohuesholz forest, which belongs to Werne, awaits the hiker.

From the hill, you can enjoy a sweeping view of the Münsterland park landscape. At the foot of the depression once stood Ichterloh Castle, which, after approximately 500 years of history, was sadly demolished in 1875. The rest area is very beautiful and offers plenty of space for visitors, with a table and benches, as well as two hiking loungers.

Westerwinkel Castle is privately owned and cannot be visited without a guide. However, you can visit the wonderful park. In spring, many cherry trees bloom here.

This is a large rest area. There are seats and tables for several people.

No cycle path! This is a hiking and bridle path. The front section where the "Pättkestour 4" is still there is fine up to the junction. The path gets worse and worse as it continues. This path is particularly tedious for inexperienced people or people with luggage. The "senseless specialists" who ride along here on mountain bikes should register a HL as a MTB and not as a RadHL! Maybe think about who might be travelling on wheels. At the moment it is muddy and overgrown - pushing is the order of the day; roots; construction rubble from farmers, etc.
