Not far from the fire watchtower!

View over the open landscape in Naturpark Hohe Mark - Westmünsterland

Highlight • Viewpoint

After a long time on paths where you can't see the forest for the trees, you'll be all the happier about this great view to the south. In the distance, at least two church towers greet the town of Haltern.

Sunken Path near Holtwick

Highlight • Trail

This beautiful path leads along the edge of the forest near Holtwick. It is a little lower, so that a kind of sunken path has formed. Very picturesque!

Today we went to the Hohe Mark, the tour comes from the book Hikes for the soul Münsterland. Even though I've hiked a lot in the Hohe Mark, the tour was just right for today, overall a very nice summary of a small part of this beautiful area.
