The building ensemble is now privately owned and no longer makes a good impression from the outside.

🚲🍴✨ The Gasthaus Zur Alten Post in Schale is a true stalwart of Westphalian hospitality and the convivial center of the idyllic Hopsten district. Located in the immediate vicinity of the historic Schale monastery church, this establishment breathes history and invites you for a cozy stopover.

Founded in 1278, the building has survived the turbulent history of the Reformation and numerous wars. Inside, stone witnesses from the founding period still tell of the centuries-long prayer tradition at this place. 📜🧱

🚲⛪✨ The Klosterkirche Schale is an impressive testament to medieval architecture and the spiritual heart of Hopsten's Schale district. As a former Cistercian convent church from the 13th century, it radiates a simple grandeur that immediately captivates visitors.

🚲✨ The Dortmund-Ems Canal (DEK) is not only one of Germany's most important waterways, but also a true open-air museum for bridge architecture. On its way from Dortmund to Papenburg, the canal is spanned by hundreds of structures or – even more spectacularly – it itself crosses rivers as a bridge.

We've often taken a break with our cycling group here at the large meadow. It's actually well maintained, and all hikers and cyclists should contribute to that in the future. 😊
