Alpine hut at the Dörenther Cliffs

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very nice cabin with good opportunities for a break. The prohibition signs on the way there have been set up "wild" - the Hermannsweg may also be used with mountain bikes.

Tecklenburg Castle Ruins and Open-Air Theatre

Highlight • Castle

The coat of arms frieze above the Tecklenburg castle gate, which is still preserved today, does not come directly from the Reformation period, but it is a consequence of this confessional change in the county of Tecklenburg. By turning to Reformedism in 1588, the marriage circle of the Tecklenburger counts was severely restricted. Only Reformed Protestant princely families were considered for marriages appropriate to their status. The coat of arms frieze illustrates such a connection between the ruling Count Mauritz von Bentheim-Tecklenburg (1615–1674) and Johanna Dorothea from the geographically distant house of Anhalt-Dessau in 1636. On the richly designed frieze of the gatehouse built in 1657 are the coats of arms of the ancestors both spouses. Separated from a woman in armor, which is interpreted as Minerva, the following coats of arms can be seen from left to right: Hesse, Nassau, Neuenahr, Nassau, Bentheim-Tecklenburg, Anhalt, Palatinate-Bavaria, Barby, Saxony and Brandenburg.

Old Mill Brochterbeck

Highlight • Monument

A gem in the middle of Brochterbeck. There's ice cream right next to the mill. So you can take a little break and enjoy the clatter of the mill.
