View of Ibbenbüren

Highlight • Viewpoint

A wonderful view. A detour that is worthwhile. Unfortunately there are an infinite number of cigarette butts at the bank. Why only love smokers ???

The cemetery is embedded in nature. The resting places are on the trees and are indicated by small memorial signs on the tree.
There should definitely be more of this type of cemetery as it has so many advantages.

Today we went almost exclusively through the forest. But not all forests are created equal. It was a varied and beautiful tour that gave us this beautiful view of the Ueffeln quarry at the end.

Somehow 12km is the right distance for us at the moment and that's why we have
