Cappenberger Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Cappenberger See is a recreational area for the entire family with hiking trails and pedal boat rental.
Due to its small size, it can be circumnavigated quickly and who has more time available, there are plenty of benches to linger.

RuheForst Cappenberg

In a beautiful, scenic location, the RuheForst Cappenberg offers an alternative to conventional types of burial. The opportunity to be buried in the natural environment of an old oak and beech forest is a dignified form of farewell for many people.

My first hike with permanent 🚨🚒 company 🤣👍. Very nice green route, well organized, so that all age groups could take part. At the stopover there was warm lemon tea and at the finish there were bratwurst, salads, coffee and other drinks for a small contribution towards expenses. 🌭🍞☕🍺 Thanks to the organizers and all the helpers 😊.

March 11, 2023,Tour 9: Von Altlünen nach Cappenberg 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

A nice round in Lünen, the tour comes from the book walks for the soul Ruhr area. The route is varied, from the Capppenberger See it goes in the direction of the castle and back again. Just the right thing for a Sunday 🤗🥾

In my personal ranking, the tour gets a very good five 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

I was in Nordlünen today. The choice is torture: Datteln-Hamm Canal or Cappenberg Castle.
The starting point of Sabine Hauke's route "Hiking for the Soul" was a few streets further, so I decided on Cappenberger Castle 🏰! I already know the tours around the castle quite well and I am amazed that they are beautiful in every season.
