The hike through the Steveraue near Olfen was a small excursion into the wildlife of Münsterland 😉. Right at the beginning of the hike, storks greeted us in their nest. Unfortunately, the resolution of our mobile phone camera isn't the best, so we couldn't bring you this wonderful view as beautifully as we experienced it. Later, the huge Poitou donkeys …

Very nice hike with lots of information boards about the Steverauen and the flora and fauna there. In addition to the actual Steverauen, highlights included the Füchtelner mill with origins in the 14th century, the Poitou donkeys, which are threatened with extinction, and the three-arch bridge from 1893. I also came very close to two stork nests📸
Not only the …

A great lap through the steverau landscape. We already had very nice impressions on our Hohe Mark Steig Tour and now we went on a round trip.

The Naturbad Olfen is an ideal starting point for an extensive hiking tour.

March 16, 2023,Der Olfener Zoo 😉

I saw the tour at @Katja von Döhren-Polenz, thanks, Katja! 👍👍😁 I slightly adjusted them for me.

Of course, there isn't really a zoo in Olfen, but there are still many animals to be seen here in the Stever Auen. While a large part of this circular route through forest, fields, groves and meadows was very nice (to walk), there …

April 24, 2022,Poitou-Esel , Olfen 😍

It's already a tradition with us, the last day of vacation or Sunday belongs to us 😏, we always do something nice there and everyone thinks about something. Then the family council meets and a decision is made 😅, often funny how it works 🤣! At least Olfen clearly won today and that's how it started😊.

April 11, 2022,Steverauen Rundwanderweg

A beautiful, easy-to-hike round through the Steverauen surrounded by a calming landscape. Also very interesting for children, as animals can be seen again and again at short intervals. We chose to start at the cemetery.

April 16, 2026,Steveraue Olfen

Today we did a nice loop through the Stever meadows near Olfen. You can always observe many animals there, so it's good to have binoculars with you. Today we saw Koniks, Heck cattle, Poitou donkeys, storks, deer, many pheasants, geese (grey, Egyptian and Canada geese) and herons.
Part of the route runs along the Hohe-Mark-Steig.
