Teutoschleife Canyon-Blick

Today I spontaneously tried the €9 ticket and had me chauffeured to the canyon. If you fall off the bus in Lengerich at the fire station, please don't make the mistake of following the advice of the official website and walking in the direction of the Bergstrasse. I didn't see a single access sign and the paths on the map are gone in favor of a new development area. From the bus, turn right, next right again and happily go straight ahead to the entrance. You are right between the buildings of the LWL Clinic. I've wanted to go to this canyon near Lengerich for a long time and I have to admit it's really worth seeing. I would have wished for a better view, but it doesn't matter. Definitely impressive! If you go clockwise from the start, you will quickly reach the canyon. If you go anti-clockwise you have the highlight at the end. The round has a few decent meters of altitude in store, but is wonderfully green. Forests, meadows, fields, everything is included. Only a little asphalt, which is also great! On the Leedener Berg, however, there are a few trees across. Then you have to go over or under it. And in places, ferns, bushes and the like (sometimes thorny) stand high up to the shoulder (if you are as short as I am 😂). The path can hardly be seen for several hundred meters. It's really fun to get through there, even if something rattled me. There are also a few smaller sights along the way. Oh yes, and alpacas in a pasture 🥰 Kindly there was food on the way 😋 All the weather apps had predicted rain, now I'm sitting here with sunburn and aloe vera gel. I like it that way!

A nice round despite the constant rain. However, some places were hardly accessible (a field of rubble with fallen trees). I quickly put these widow makers behind me.

Very nice varied walk. The highlight is the view of the Lengericher Canyon quarry. With turquoise water and numerous protected animals and plants.

The "Teutoschleife Canyon View" is themed "meadows, forests and emerald green water". The tour offers a hike through beautiful, varied nature, which mostly leads along natural paths, and mainly along narrower (forest) paths and paths. It goes through beautiful forest areas with some large ferns and along fields, corn fields and lush meadows. The path leads us over the "Leederner Berg" (202 m above sea level) with the remains of the "Lusthäuschen". A refuge stood here until 1910. It was popularly called the "pleasure house" because the pastor from Leegern used to stroll and meditate here and also wrote his sermons on Saturdays because "here he was closest to his Lord God". A few hundred meters further, about 100 m away from the hiking trail, there is an enchanted memorial for the fallen of World War II. The way there leads over irregular steps through unspoilt nature. Shortly before the end of the tour, a small path leads off the path to the Canyon Blick, the namesake of this tour. The last part of the way offers a piece of contemporary art with the sculpture park before we get back to the starting point through the hydrangea park in the former cemetery. --- This hike is part of our Collection: "Hiking in the Tecklenburger Land" https://www.komoot.de/collection/1464991/-wandern-im-tecklenburger-land

As a prelude to an Easter short break, we finally wanted to see the legendary canyon near Lengerich, which we had often seen on Komoot. Even better was the fact that there are actually two circular hiking trails there that touch or even go around this highlight. We had enough time and chose the longer and more challenging Teutoschleife CanyonBlick in the best spring weather. To keep the suspense high, we hiked the loop counter-clockwise and visited the canyon almost at the end of the round. Ultimately, one must say that the loop is a very beautiful, entertaining circular hike even without this special highlight. Especially now in April, entire seas of wood anemones - there must be millions! - stand in the still sparsely or not at all leafed deciduous forests. In the trees, wrens, blackcaps, robins, tits, blackbirds, and finches deliver one song battle after another (for and with us). We found it particularly pleasant that the asphalt and road sections on the tour are very small. On the other hand, one or the other ascent had to be overcome, but for this, we were often rewarded with romantic and wide views, e.g. from the Lusthäuschen all the way to Osnabrück and beyond. The CanyonBlick, almost at the end of our round, is somewhat less spectacular than the name suggests. But of course: an old limestone quarry, the bottom of which is flooded with turquoise water, can hardly compete with a Grand Canyon. Nevertheless, the sight is unusual, and knowing that a special biotope has developed here over time, one is quite impressed. The loop deserves 4.5 out of 5 points. Half a point is deducted for the noise of the A1 motorway, which unfortunately spoiled the otherwise great hiking pleasure for a few hundred meters of the route.

A great little hiking route. Best done early in the morning, as the trail gets quite crowded otherwise.

Hello, everyone! Canyon view (Teuto loop) The path owes its name to the "Lengericher Canyon" with its turquoise-blue water. This was created after the largest quarry in the region was closed and is now home to many protected animal and plant species. You alternately cross beautiful, varied forests, which offer pleasant coolness even on hot summer days, and meadow valleys with small-scale use. The path leads a short distance through the ALVASkulpturenpark. Depending on the wind direction, you can hear the motorway for about 2 km of the route (see German Hiking Institute / Premium hiking trails). LG and Fresh Up! Joe
