Hiking

Untouched nature, fascinating rock formations and views framed by wooded paths give this Teuto loop its unique charm. A few meters in altitude await you on a short route, but you will hardly notice them against the backdrop of the wild and romantic hike.

Dörenther Cliffs

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Dörenther Cliffs boast impressive rock formations and mysterious myths. Bizarre sandstone cliffs of all sizes and shapes, rising enchantingly up to 40 meters, line the narrow ridge paths.

Alpine hut at the Dörenther Cliffs

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Very nice cabin with good opportunities for a break. The prohibition signs on the way there have been set up "wild" - the Hermannsweg may also be used with mountain bikes.

Dreikaiserstuhl

Highlight • Natural Monument

An interesting rock formation where climbers can often be seen. Or you can simply use one of the rocks for a rest and a picnic during a hike on the Hermannsweg.

Iron Spring Brochterbeck

Highlight • Natural Monument

The iron spring, a geological specialty of Brochterbeck, runs under a small wooden bridge. Here the iron content is so high that it is visible to everyone.

View of Ibbenbüren

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can really see a lot and especially in width. The power plant with the large chimneys in contrast to the tiny little houses captivates the eye.

What a great day, with some lovely sunshine every now and then. And 2 super enthusiastic boys running up the hill while their mothers trudged along behind... 😀

Hello, everyone! Dörenther Klippen (Teuto loop) The circular hiking trail leads through beautiful forests and along the edges of the forest. The highlights are the Dörenther cliffs, over 40 m high sandstone rocks, which were created around 140 million years ago as sandbanks and deposits of a prehistoric sea. Here hikers can enjoy wonderful, wide views over the whole of the Münsterland (see German Hiking Institute / Premium hiking trails). LG and Fresh Up! Joe

Today I went on a wonderful hike in the Münsterland with Mathias. The tour included a lot. Forest hiking trails, paths through meadow orchards, breathtaking rock formations, fantastic views, a stop on the alp,... In short, a premium hiking trail. Right next to the alpine hut is the impressive rock formation: "Hockende Weib". The desire to climb automatically arises. According to legend, a mother turned to stone to save her children from the approaching floods. The rocks that make up the Dörenther cliffs with the "crouching woman" were still loose sand on the beach 135 million years ago. After the sand solidified into stone, the strata were bent and erected.

Today the next loop hike - this time to the west. Also a nice route, unfortunately the inn was closed (Monday stop). The rocks are nice, but as a connoisseur of the Dahner Felsenland in the Palatinate Forest you are of course spoiled.

Nice route. Partly along the Hermannsweg with a great view of the Münsterland and partly along rustic trails 🥾 on the Teutoschleife. At 12.5km, it was a bit longer than indicated, but was manageable.

Today the original Teuto loop ran for the first time, otherwise it always got lost or "clear your mouth". It wasn't busy ... nice 😃

Translated by Google

The Teuto Loop is a very beautiful and varied trail. There are always magnificent views and beautiful glimpses of nature. The loop is simply fun. If you like, you can also walk around the "Hockende Weib" (Squatting Woman). However, we skipped that, so this short section isn't recorded. In prolonged wet weather, you can expect muddy ground in places. Appropriate footwear is recommended.
