Bench With Cleaning Cloths

Highlight • Viewpoint

The duster under the bench is just a jack. The bench itself is wonderfully protected under trees and you have a fantastic view of the surrounding landscape.

Alkenkuhle Geological Monument

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Alkenkuhle is a hollow with considerable depth, which is sharply defined in the forest. It is a geological phenomenon that originated in the Ice Age when the glacier retreated and the Ankumer Heights raised. The Terra.vita Geopark has set up very good information boards there.

The Alkensage, which is also presented on site and invites you to shudder, is also more exciting. Also here for reading on the website of the municipality of Bersenbrück: bersenbrueck.de/staticsite/staticsite.php?menuid=2592&topmenu=2995

Rickelmann II Megalithic Tomb

Highlight • Historical Site

There was once a 14 meter long burial chamber here - the bearing stones and capstones have largely been preserved (even if some are slightly offset). You can even see the enclosure if you look closely. An exciting piece of the Neolithic!

Meyer megalithic tomb

Highlight • Historical Site

So this is the grave of Ugluk Meyer (died 3333 BC), the forefather of the now huge Meyer clan ... or is it? There is also the possibility that a Mr. Meyer has made this grave archeologically accessible. This grave is not as spectacular as the others in the area, but according to a contemporary witness from 1902 it is said to have been the most magnificent grave far and wide. It has probably been partially removed, a bad habit that continued into the 1970s.

Grovener Station

Highlight • Rest Area

A nice resting place in the middle of the green. If you are lucky, it will still be free and you can enjoy the provisions you brought with you in peace. Nobody bothers you here, except maybe a busy woodpecker high above you in the trees ...

A varied tour with a few rest stops.
If I had followed the gpx data and not the signs, I would have missed the namesake of this hike.

March 19, 2024,Terra Track Alkenkuhle + Goldhügel

Today we combined the two Terra Tracks Alkenkuhle and Goldhügel into one hike. We also followed the “Road of Monolith Culture” for a small section.
The routes are very well signposted, perfect.
There are a few hiking huts and many benches along the way.
Unfortunately, some paths were badly damaged by heavy vehicles and we had to try to find …

Parking is easy at the golf club and there are also some forest paths.
Today we always walked some forest paths. The paths came about by chance when I planned the tour beforehand.
Unfortunately, I cannot recognize Terrawege in advance on this app.
