Bridge and waterfall at Grüner See

Highlight • Waterfall

Beautiful waterfalls at the Green Lake. A really cool location. You run over Kasskaden into the lake. Some are bigger, some are smaller. They are all beautiful and it ripples so beautifully.

In a quarry near Bad Essen-Barkhausen, fossilized dinosaur footprints were discovered. 150 million years ago, the climate here was tropical and dinosaurs ruled.

Dinosaur Footprints Barkhausen

Highlight • Natural Monument

Very well-preserved dinosaur tracks. The additional features, including two "real" dinosaurs and numerous information panels, liven things up. Absolutely worth a visit for dinosaur fans of all ages!

View of Buer

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ideal when the sun is between 15 and 25 degrees. The forest offers protection from direct sunlight. The rest area is therefore cooler than the sidewalks. You can forget the time with a book!

Wonderful trails

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's simply wonderful how the route here runs sometimes over wider, sometimes very narrow paths through the quiet forest. At the edge of the path there are nice spots for a coffee break! :)
