Ölbach Wooden Walkway

Highlight • Bridge

Small detours from the hiking trail to the stream are always worthwhile - the Ölbach and its fauna are worth seeing at every point.

Holter Schlosskrug

Highlight • Restaurant

Whether for lunch or dinner, here you can eat very well. And in the summer in the beer garden enjoy a wonderful beer in the beach chair.

Holte Castle

Highlight • Castle

The picturesque moated castle is privately owned, so it can not be visited. But also from outside worth a look at the castle. Especially nice: On sunny days, the castle is reflected in the water of the moat.

July 25, 2026,Sommerliche Frischerunde im Holter Wald 🏰🍃

The Holter Wald is actually our classic area for the colder season. But this morning the sun was so inviting that it was clear: time for a spontaneous Schlossweg loop with the dog before it gets too warm!
From the hiking parking lot at the 1000-year-old oak, we went straight onto the beautiful root path by the water. While we …

My new hiking boots broke in today. Unfortunately, my feet have gotten wider and I can no longer wear my beloved Lowa Renegade. Now it has become the Hanwag Banks, in which I also feel very comfortable 🙂

Round in the Holter forest, like everywhere there was a lot of water and mud... some of the paths were really under water, but it was dry and even some sun!

The castle trail mostly leads through the Holter forest. It connects the hunting lodge in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock with Verl. After about 10 km you reach the Mühlcafé. The hiking trail then leads another 3 km along the banks of the natural Ölbach through sometimes dense, sometimes loosely overgrown forest and through meadows back to the Holte hunting lodge, where the …

In glorious (and completely unforeseen) weather, a typical standard hike through the Holter Forest, which was unsurprisingly busy today. Of course, a stop at the quaint Mühlcafé was included; this time I had tomato soup with cocoa – an unusual but very tasty combination :)
