With our LandStreifer dates "Gernebachtal" we take you with us to - you guessed it - the Gernebach valley. You won't encounter a lot of water on this approximately 14-kilometer round, but creatively growing beeches, fish ponds without fish, picture-perfect meadows and artistic wooden sculptures along the way. There is…

These beeches look quite peculiar. On the sign you can read why. I don't want to reveal too much. 😊

April 5, 2025,LandStreifer Datteln „Gernebachtal“🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

Today was another hiking day planned with @Andrea S. and @Ulrike 🦊. Ulrike chose a new LandStreifer, "Gernebachtal," near Ahsen.
With great weather and interesting conversations, we thoroughly enjoyed the hike. The paths were mostly sandy and soft and led through beautiful forest. This LandStreifer is highly recommended. 👍🌲
Shortly before the end of the hike (5 km), our Andrea …

Today I spontaneously set off with Katja. A really good idea after the Christmas holidays. Katja found a new Landstreifer for us. The Landstreifer is so new that it is not yet signposted and is not marked on any hiking map.
It was a beautiful walk. I particularly liked the mystical foggy atmosphere.
On the way we had an eerie😱 …

Datteln now also has a Landstreifer! and is still without trail markings. Thank God a spontaneous appointment with @Annette🏞️⛰️🥾🚲 to go hiking does not depend on the weather!

Today I was finally out and about again with @Ulrike 🦊 and @Edith. We wanted to try out the new Landstreifer trail in the Hohe Mark region and can highly recommend it: lots of greenery and nature, especially now that nature is awakening again🌿🍃😍. And virtually no asphalt.

That was a great hike! 🥾

I really enjoyed the area and the trails. 😊
The almost 14 km flew by in this beautiful landscape.

It's also a beautiful area for mountain biking. A 42 km route is officially signposted. I think I read "Haard on Tour." 🚴🏼‍♂️😊

April 1, 2025,2025.04.01 LandStreifer Datteln - Gernebachtal

To be clear, this LandStreifer hike wasn't really to my taste. 😔 There were very long stretches of straight ahead on wide gravel paths. There were few real highlights. Forestry work was already underway in many places, and large piles of wood were ready to be removed. 🪵 As a result, the forest was quite thin over large areas, and …

The Haard is a mountain range covering approximately 55 km² in the Hohe Mark Nature Park in North Rhine-Westphalia. This virtually uninhabited hilly landscape stretches along the northern edge of the Ruhr region between Haltern am See, Datteln, Oer-Erkenschwick, and Marl.

Today's LandStreifer certainly shows off its strengths best when it's 30 degrees Celsius plus in midsummer. More than 90% of it runs through the Haard forest and is correspondingly shady. Personally, I found it a bit too one-dimensional: no views, no water, no sights. But anyone seeking absolute peace and quiet will easily find it here—especially in bad weather conditions …
