June 18, 2022,LandStreifer Wesel Diersforter Wald (Teilstrecke)

Today there was a small exploration tour on the Landstreifer in the Diersforter forest. In theory, you can simply follow the purple markings and arrive at the starting point after about 15 kilometers. Today I looked at the area a little, shortened the tour a bit, but made one or the other detour.

That was a really nice tour. There was also a short stretch of road, but that was necessary for the course of the tour, short and therefore bearable. On the way back there was another stretch of field path with no forest or shade. If you have a dog with you, be sure to take …

February 2, 2025,Runde 🇩🇪 Diersfordter Wald - Schwarze Wasser- Moorerlebnis

Sun, Sunday and frost. The weather lured me out for a walk in the fresh air. Because of the frost, I hadn't quite expected one or two challenging spots with lots of mud. Very nice route, next time when it's been dry for a bit longer. 😎😉

I took this hike from the "Landstreifer Circular Hiking Trails" brochure, which I picked up from the tourist information office in Bocholt. The original hiking route is 15.3 km long. Since I had already cycled to Diersfordt Castle in the summer, I omitted that part of the tour.

June 17, 2022,Runde vom schwarzen Wasser zu den Dünen am großen Veen

Today we started at the Schwarzer Wasser parking lot. Except for a short stretch, we always follow the purple hiking trail Diesfordter Wald. Hiking in beautiful nature. For the most part, the paths were left in their natural state or designed to be near-natural. Only two straight sections were on gravel or asphalt roads. There was a lot of greenery …
