Did this tour in the best weather.
Beautiful forest with lots of brown cap mushrooms.
Tour is a Hümmling path.

After the early morning rain, I thought I'd take a forest path instead. The trails were easy to walk on. I just didn't really need the brakes, which accompanied me for a while. 😉

Kateekerpatt means squirrel path in Low German and is another fantastic path of the Hümmling paths.
Across the forests of Lorup, this great hiking route leads over old dunes and sandy paths. This hike includes, among other things, the steepest ascent of all Hümmling trails.

The Kateekerpatt is a wonderful walk, very well signposted and in excellent condition. An absolute recommendation. And since it is mainly led through forests, this path is easy to walk even in the current heat.
And ladies, today was my first time hiking in a skort. And how comfortable is it to wear? 😎

The Loruper Kateekerpatt or "Squirrel Trail" leads through the forests of Lorup, over old dunes and sandy paths. Old gnarled pines and the call of the ravens accompany us on the path, which also includes one of the steepest climbs of the Hümmling trails.

Parking at the town hall in Lorup.

The path is completely signposted with “Hümmlingpfade Kateekerpatt”.

Afterwards, have a coffee break right next to the parking lot at the Behrens Meyer bakery in the Markant Markt.
