Bad Rothenfelde Graduation Towers

Highlight • Monument

If you are in Bad Rothenfelde, a stop in the Kurpark is obligatory. There are the two graduation towers that are supposed to provide healthy air and whose imposing dimensions will definitely captivate you. So best to take a deep breath. ;)

Apart from that there are a lot of shops, cafes and restaurants in Bad Rothenfelde, ideal conditions for a break. If you want to treat yourself to the full pack of relaxation, a trip to the salt water spa with steam bath and sauna area is worthwhile.

View of Münsterland at Kleiner Berg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Little Mountain" adventure trail in Bad Laer opened in early 2014 to great public acclaim. The idea for this educational project arose in connection with a geothermal energy project. Scientists had stumbled upon fascinating soil profiles in the Blomberg near Bad Laer, which reveal the Earth's climate history up to the present day. Geologist Dr. Jens Steffahn subsequently developed a scientific concept for the creation of a geological educational trail.

The 6.4-kilometer trail paints a captivating picture of Earth's history. The eight stations are connected by "reading stones," which provide engaging questions to answer while visitors wait between stations. This ensures that even younger family members won't find the walk too long.

The trail holds many surprises, such as the "rocky path to the glacial erratic" and the "view into the depths." The geotourism trail is part of the Teutoburg Forest, Kleiner Berg FFH area within the European Natura 2000 network of protected areas.

January 12, 2025,Kuren in Bad Laer und Bad Rothenfelde

A day off work and no rain has been a rare combination in recent weeks. So we decided to rehabilitate ourselves from the "gray rainy weather blues" in two bathing resorts in Münsterland: Bad Laer and Bad Rothenfelde. The air was cold, clear and soothing. The round was great fun; it was wonderful to be out and about again. We …

Beautiful tour, definitely recommended, mainly through the forest. Easily accessible paths.

April 19, 2025,Bad Laer - Bad Rothenfelde - Bad Laer, Frühling läßt sein blaues Band ... 🌻🌼🌞🤩

Today, this circular hike takes us along easy paths through a very beautiful, gently hilly forest area, the Blomberg, between Bad Laer and Bad Rothenfelde. The name Blomberg comes from Low German and means "flower mountain." We can only confirm that this range of hills, located in front of the Teutoburg Forest, lives up to its name. Many beautiful early …

Hike in Bad Laer in the late Sunday afternoon. The weather was very sunny, but much too warm for me. There were completely new ways (for me)! Beautifully developed paths - recommended. Fine 😃

February 23, 2025,Bad Laer - Bad Rothenfelde

Bad Laer and Bad Rothenfelde are communities with brine springs in the Osnabrück region.

In 1777, a graduation tower with lateral struts was put into operation in Bad Rothenfelde to extract salt (Old Graduation Tower). In 1824, the second one without lateral struts followed (New Graduation Tower); with a length of 412 meters, it is the largest column-free graduation tower …

January 8, 2022,Wanderung Bad Rothenfelde Kleiner Berg

A little hike somewhere else.
Unfortunately, the sky didn't loosen up at all, so it wasn't worth climbing the tower either.
It is a very nice little wood, with nice forest trails that were unfortunately very muddy and had large puddles.
But the coffee stop in Bad Laer and the final baked potato in Bad Rothenfelde were also worth it.

Of course we had to get out and explore something new with the weather. The round is definitely much nicer in full green, but it's beginning and the heralds of spring are everywhere. It is green and sprouting and chirping everywhere :)
We decided not to visit the gastro because we were very well equipped and tasty. We also stayed …
