Since I've hiked here several times, today only 1 picture. Tour was made because my boss can not go far. But slowly getting better

In this former heathland you can explore, among other things, a burial mound and a 20 m high sand trap.
On the way back, you take a paved path along the branch canal, which is a connection between the port of Osnabrück and the Mittelland Canal.

January 23, 2024,Terra.vita: Kulturpfad Königstannen + Variante zum „Tempel“

Nice round. The paths are quite sandy, making them easy to walk on. Without the variant, approx. 3.5 km long. Nice for a walk even with children. Only recommended for pedestrians due to the floor.
