The battery tower was built in the 15th century to better defend the south-west flank of the castle. Chambers for heavy artillery were installed on two floors of the round tower with 5 m thick masonry.

August 31, 2024,Bentheimer Klippen – Kurpark Bad Bentheim Runde von Schüttorf

I'm actually parked with the caravan at Hertha Lake in Hörstel, chilling out because of the nice weather. But I can't do without hiking and rocks... There are actually rocks in the flat countryside... Off to the cliffs of Bad Bentheim, 30 km away... Great, I didn't expect to find such a great hike here 👍. The cliffs were an …

But …

July 10, 2023,D - Niedersachsen - Grafschaft Bentheim - Waldrunde Bad Bentheim

Bad Bentheim is one of my favorite places in this region. It is close by (for me a 45 minute drive from southeast Drenthe), has a beautiful castle with a beautiful museum and a cozy old center. But above all I like coming here for the scenery. Located on the westernmost spur of the nearby Teutoburger Wald you will find …

Today, May 1st, we followed Silvia's tour "Bentheimer Sandsteinweg 11.12.2021". Thanks for the varied template 🤗! There was a crowd in Bentheim today because the knight festival ⚔️ took place in the park. But you could easily avoid it... 😉
