March 8, 2025,Steinbecker Runde
To start with, the Steinbecker Runde is a great way to start in fantastic weather. At 7.5 km, it's a bit longer. According to the description, 80 meters in elevation is easily doable.
Lovely route with a canal, hidden paths through the forest and fields, and some lovely views.

Start of the hike on the Recke fitness trail.
Hikers can discover traces of mining history here. There are ships on the canal, the marina harbor, Buchholz tunnel, observation tower, mine hut and a café roastery are on the way.

A very varied hike ***** !

The premium walking trail "Teutoschleifchen Steinbecker Runde" with the motto "Canal and Coal" combines a nice, varied circular tour with a little mining history.

The tour begins in the center of Steinbeck at the parish church of St. Philippus and Jakobus, which was built between 1889 and 1893 and later expanded. It is worth visiting the inside of the church. …

Was a very nice hike in the most beautiful spring weather

We, five adults and two dogs, walked the Teutoschleife "Steinbecker Runde" at -4°C, with a few minor changes.

Sun was forecast... unfortunately it missed its appearance.
It was quite hazy and everything was dusted with a little "icing sugar".
Even at this time of year, the Teutoschleife has its charm.
