The Wasserschloss Bodelschwingh is definitely one of the most beautiful moated castles in Germany. Curved gables and turrets are reflected in the surrounding water, which truly provides an impressive picture. …

January 13, 2024,Bergehalde Schwerin – Schweriner Sonnenuhr Runde von Kirchlinde

I actually thought I knew the tour by heart, but we made a mistake and walked part of it differently but very nicely, part of it twice and part the other way around. Heike didn't notice anything either. Now I have changed the tour, nicer.

January 13, 2024,Bergehalde - Schloss- & Friedhofswandertour

For today we had planned a relaxed hiking tour to broaden our (sports) horizons together. 😉
Unfortunately it wasn't exactly the best weather for that, but no one canceled and chickened out. 💪
Today's hiking group consisted of Steffi, Heike, Tom, Dirk, Manfred and myself. 🤗

May 19, 2025,Bergehalde Schwerin – Schloss Bodelschwingh -Tante Amanda

So, today I had another Monday walk with Ralf, and a beautiful one at that. The walk took us over the Schwerin slag heap, through the Bodelschwingh Forest, to Bodelschwingh Castle, which is also unfortunately currently under construction, and to finish off, we had refreshments at Aunt Amanda's. It was lovely 👍😊🥾🌞

March 29, 2024,Rundwanderung durch das NSG Bodelschwingher Wald bis zur Halde Schwerin

This time our route took us to rural Dortmund. It went through the NSG Bodelwickelher forest, past the Bodelwickelh moated castle and to the Schwerin dump. From the sundial you had a great view of Westfalenpark and in the other direction to the tetrahedron in Bottrop. Once again, to my great joy, I was able to discover how rural and …

The start and end point of this hike is the parking lot of the Aunt Amanda's gastronomy (where you can stop in the beer garden when the weather is nice). From here you walk along dirt roads (with a view) to Bodelschwingh Castle. This is privately owned, yet it is an impressive building to look at from the outside. We …

In the pleasant company of two hiking enthusiasts, this loop started at the Catholic cemetery in Bodelschwingh and led first through the woods along the castle moat. After the recent rain, many of the forest paths were unfortunately quite soft and muddy, adding a touch of adventure to the hike. The elevated sections at Odemsloh were particularly appealing, offering sweeping …

Before the weather strikes again, another round in the surrounding area.
This is not the first and not the last time I have been to the city corner.
I am always amazed at how much green we have here.
This tour goes mainly through green areas, today with a lot of mud 😅, with a great view from the slag …

February 18, 2026,Bodelschwingher Wald 🌳 und Berghalde Schwerin

I was able to make good use of this "age-free" day today by accepting an invitation from @Margit and joining her for a pre-hike for the SGV Höchsten. We hiked close to home, taking a wide route through the Bodelschwingh Forest 🌳 to the Schwerin spoil heap. The forest paths were quite muddy and slippery, but passable. Bodelschwingh Castle itself …
