Paoters Pättken (also "Poaters Pättken") near Darfeld is a historic, very natural forest path in Münsterland and is considered a particularly beautiful stretch for hiking and cycling. It is located in the forest near Haus Burlo close to Rosendahl-Darfeld. What makes the path special: It is a centuries-old trail that monks from the Kleinburlo monastery once used to walk to Höpingen. The narrow path runs like a hollow way between tall trees and leads through the varied landscape of the Baumberge. The municipality of Rosendahl describes it as "probably the most beautiful cycle path stage in Münsterland."

Beautiful chapel on Schöppinger Berg. The location of the chapel also invites you to pause and find peace in the evening at sunset. Dze Lage Kapelle lädt auch abends bei Sonnenuntergang ein zum inne Halten und zur Ruhe kommen.

If you completely take your foot off the gas here, you can almost feel the spirit of the past. The path connects the rural idyll of the farmsteads directly with the old moats and structures of Haus Burlo, which gives the trail an almost mystical charm. ⏳👣

🚲🌲✨ Poaters Pättken in the forest near Haus Burlo is a wonderfully enchanted, historically rich forest path that takes you directly into the mysterious nature around the former Klein Burlo monastery on your tour! This historic "Paterspfad" (Monks' Path) was once used by the monks of the Cistercian and Wilhelmitan orders for quiet contemplation, prayer, or to manage the surrounding lands.

As soon as you feel the sand under your feet and let your gaze wander over the clear water, you immediately forget everyday life. The gently sloping beach offers ideal conditions to cool off in the cool water or simply relax in the sand. 🏖️☀️
