The best city hikes and walks around Stadtlohn

In the Thirty Years' War, the famous Battle of Stadtlohn took place on August 6, 1623. It ended with a devastating defeat for the Protestant commander Ernst von Mansfeld.

Quietly located on the edge of Wenningfeld, this dog meadow is a great playground for four-legged friends. Owners can make themselves comfortable on the benches provided...

A lovely, fenced-in off-leash meadow with poop bag dispensers, an entrance gate, etc. Benches are also available. It's a great place to meet up with other dogs for playtime.

This is what Geocaching.com says: This is a cache in Stadtlohn that takes you back a good 60 years. On March 11, 21, and 22, 1945, British and American units launched attacks against Stadtlohn, which was marked on the maps of the German army command as Fortress "Veronika." The fighting ended with the British invasion on March 29, 1945. Over 90% of the city was destroyed, and 296 people lost their lives. In the weeks before the bombing raids, prisoners of war and foreign workers, joined by numerous miners from the nearby Ruhr region as "Schanzer," had dug a 3-meter-deep and approximately 8-meter-wide anti-tank ditch. The ditch extended south of Stadtlohn through the western plain to the road to Vreden. Concrete shelters with machine gun nests had been built in this area to the rear. The inner city area was surrounded by a network of trenches and communication trenches. Today, over 60 years later, almost all traces of this terrible time have been erased. This is a good thing, as farmers in particular had their fair share of trouble after the war with the massive ditches that crisscrossed their fields. However... now considered part of the city, two of these "structures" have survived the 60 years completely undamaged. Only nature has attempted to cover them with a little sand. Forgotten, they eke out an existence in a small forest on the outskirts of Stadtlohn. They are two concrete shelters, former machine gun nests. The entry area is completely open. The muzzle opening has been almost completely filled with sand over the years. However, it is still relatively easy to recognize. The massive "one-man bunkers" are located directly on a walking path, about 100 meters apart.

This is what Stadtlohn City Marketing (SMS) writes: After the last train traveled the Borken-Stadtlohn-Vreden line on a special trip on October 18, 1986, the Stadtlohn Railway Museum was opened in 1996 by the Stadtlohn Railway Club and has been maintained voluntarily by its members ever since. It is the only museum dedicated to the Westphalian State Railway and is located in the former station building. From the outset, the Stadtlohn Railway Club, founded on January 31, 1985, set itself the task of establishing a railway museum or rather a heritage railway. For this purpose, photos, documents, tools, equipment, and railway paraphernalia from the Westphalian Northern Railway were collected over the years. Gradually, the heritage locomotive, the passenger car (Donnerbüchse), a motorized trolley, and an old steamroller were added. They were all painstakingly and lovingly restored and then placed in the newly designed outdoor area. Additional signals, a barrier system, and a station clock also expanded the museum's offerings. As a special highlight, the park railway for young train enthusiasts runs in Losberg Park every year on Sundays and public holidays from April to October. Opening Hours: WLE Railway Museum Bahnallee 2 - 4 48703 Stadtlohn April to October, every first Sunday of the month from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Park Railway: April to October, Sundays and public holidays from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

A shelter, of which there are many here. It offers shelter and, above all, the opportunity to refresh yourself with drinks during your rest...
