St. Albanus and Cyriacus Churches in Kirchwelver

Highlight • Religious Site

While the city of Soest accepted Luther's teachings in 1531, the situation in Welver remained confused for a long time. The monastery remained Catholic, the St. Albanus and Cyriakus Church was subordinated to the Protestant community.

February 2, 2025,Spaziergang bei Welver auf dem A4

The walk turned into more of a hike because the paths were sometimes different than expected. If it hadn't been for the frost, the grass paths would have been a lot muddier and probably not passable in some places. But it didn't matter, it worked and it was another great route. The dachshund found an unfrozen pile every now and …

In the clubhouse with the adjoining football field near Eilmsen, there was a bratwurst and coffee or a beer as a reward. Fresh on from Elke

The tour went through the Soester Börde, through fields and meadows and through beautiful forests. Despite the asphalt portion, we liked the tour, it was very varied. The Schlottmann country inn is a good …

Beautiful trail, even at this time of year. We'll do that again in the flowering or summer season. Even if there is some asphalt to walk, there is still a long way to go. Parking at the monastery car park, you can see beautiful buildings immediately. If you want to walk 14 km, you can walk the A4 hiking trail.
