Cycle Path Along the Ölbach

Highlight • Cycleway

This gravel path along the Ölbach is highly recommended. In summer, the cyclist rides under the trees along the Ölbach through the shade. Very pleasant!

Today, in beautiful weather, I went on a great walk to Holter Castle with my wife. The route is not difficult, which means that you can also do it with the younger generation, as there are enough places to take a break along the way

You should not only see the Holter Castle but also the "1000" year old oak tree in the immediate vicinity

It was a very nice tour. Mainly small, quiet roads or beautiful forest stretches. You should definitely take the time for a stop at the Mühlencafe.

Difficult start to the day to get into the swing of things!🫣 I couldn't find my way, it took me a while😏. Small passage in the forest since our departure from Schloss Holte station, to arrive in front of the castle which is very colorful. Then our ride continued west through a beautiful shaded path as the temperature was 32 …

From the station it goes almost immediately into the forest. The hunting lodge is the first to be admired, a few meters further the 1000-year-old oak tree awaits. Then it goes through the Holter Forest with the Mühlcafé as the first option for a coffee, ...maybe wait a bit and stop off at Café Klüter in Verl (super!!!), the botanical …

A beautiful loop via Sende, Holte Castle, through the Holter Forest, and back via Verl. Great sections along the Ölbach, Dalke, and Landerbach streams. A detour to the Große Wächter farm shop is worthwhile; it has great products and is open every day. During asparagus and strawberry season, the barn café is open every Sunday and public holiday, serving delicious …
