Alstedde Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

A wide and easy to ride forest floor and gravel mix. From my point of view not a trail but a very nice route for pedestrians and cyclists. There are other options for onward travel.

Today I only had time for a short tour and so I found this cozy group with the lovely @Edith. I thought you wouldn't have to clean your shoes. But I was wrong, there was plenty of water and mud on the second leg. The sun ☀️ lured many people out of the door today. It was just wonderful to …

Small tour along the Lippe floodplains west of Lünen.
Lots of asphalt, but just right for today.
Good route for bird watching.
Even now I have seen various buzzards, even a very white young buzzard, nuthatch, kestrel, great spotted woodpecker, grey heron, etc.
Apart from the view of a power station, all in all a nice tour for in between. …

Today my work colleague Marion wanted to come with me again and I thought of something 😊. So today we went along the Lippe weir to the Koniks 🐴.
Since I had heard that there were some here, I really wanted to go back to Lünen. According to my research, I knew roughly where the pasture was supposed to be …

A beautiful and peaceful hike through the Lippe meadows to Lünen. The trail leads mostly along well-maintained, flat paths beside the Lippe River, past meadows, floodplains, and small sections of forest. There are plenty of opportunities for short breaks and nature observation along the way. Once in Lünen, we treated ourselves to a Greek meal (🍺🍟🍣). Delicious!
