February 4, 2023,Theikenmeer-Runde – Hümmling-Pfade 🥾🐕

I found today's "Theikenmeer Round" at @Emsland Tourismus GmbH and changed the starting point. It is a designated and very well signposted circular route between Werlte and Sögel, but parts of which are still "under construction", so that the condition of the route ranges from bad to very bad in the first quarter of the round. The places where the …

A beautiful, well-marked circular tour. And on the pilgrimage route you are accompanied by the Holy Spirit 👻 🙏😇
In four weeks, when the fields have been planted, it will be even more beautiful here 👍😊🐕

June 1, 2025,Theikenmeer mal anders

Today we were hiking in the Theikenmeer lake near Werlte.
We had already done this approximately 9km circular hike in August 2023. Today we hiked it again – this time in the opposite direction and with completely new impressions.
The varied route leads through moorland, forest, and open landscapes. What was particularly striking today was the lively activity of the …

April 6, 2025,Theikenmeer im Frühling

Accompanied by the chirping of birds and the chatter of ducks and geese, the Theikenmeer trail is an absolute highlight in spring. In glorious sunshine, the view from the various viewing platforms is highly recommended. This is especially true for the view of the brilliant blue water today.

The Theikenmmeer round can also be done very well from Werlte. Accompanied by the chirping and chattering of birds, I not only met other hikers, but also deer.
The circular hiking trail is really successful.

October 3, 2023,Theikenmeer-Runde Werlte

Today I went for a walk on the Theikenmeer circuit.
It's wonderful when you can't hear anything except the chirping of birds, the wind, the rain and your own footsteps. The wind blows your head wonderfully clear.
