Directions

We walk in a northerly direction on the so-called Russenpatt parallel to the Bielefelder Straße (L756). After 200 m, we cross the Holtebach, which winds its way through a marshy alder forest in places. After a further 500 m, we cross the Hallerbach. This has its source on the Senne military training area and flows through the Moosheide Süd nature reserve. Shortly before the Steinweg, we leave the Russenpatt and turn right onto the "Untere Bielefelder Landstraße" and follow this until we reach a meadow. On the banks of the Hallerbach stream and the wetland, the so-called lake, we turn right through a small wood with a biotope. Passing a sawmill, we reach the "Emser Kirchweg"; now 300 m to the left, then right onto the dunes. We walk over a dune into the Hövelhof forest with the former fish pond facilities. On the way to the forester's lodge, past old forestry crops, we cross the Holtebach stream twice more and reach the Friedenseiche oak. Another 500 m and we are back at the starting point.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

If you fancy a longer hike, simply join the Historical Hiking Trail. The two 6 km long trails can be perfectly combined.
