Cappenberg Castle gatehouse

Highlight • Castle

The outdoor facilities can usually be visited free of charge. At the (worth seeing) Christmas market you have to pay admission here.

Forests near Cappenberg Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

So there was nothing (more) to be seen of ferns here, but it is a beautiful forest path that is pleasant to walk on, not too narrow, not too wide.

Avenue to Cappenberg Castle

Highlight • Monument

Unfortunately, there's no nice view of the castle from the avenue. At least there's a footpath alongside the main road. I don't think the walk is worth it just for …

February 18, 2024,Rundweg um Schloss Cappenberg

Yes, it rained 🌨️...from the beginning. But everyone was in a good mood, so it's fun even in the rain 😃 We walked as far as possible on wider paths and so there were only a few muddy paths. When the weather is nice, the tour is highly recommended for hikers who are afraid of water 😉 😆 ...and if …

September 1, 2024,Cappenberger Schloss - Rundweg des SGV "T" (kopfüber) - Erweitertes Münsterland

Today we did a great walk around Cappenberg Castle in the extended Münsterland.

We "simply" followed the signposted SGV hiking trail "T" (upside down).

We started the walk at the castle, anti-clockwise. At the end of the walk we couldn't find all the markings and got a little off the path. But that doesn't matter, you can go hiking there …

March 16, 2023,Schloss Cappenberg (T auf dem Kopf)

According to the Sauerland mountain club, it starts at the parking lot of Cappenberg Castle. I started "Am Struckmannsberg".

Circular trail is marked with an upside down T.

The western Cappenberger forest and Kohuesholz is definitely nice to hike on, I better stayed on the marked paved route today. The paths were too muddy.

February 15, 2025,Schloss Cappenberg und Cappenberger See in einer Tour

This tour is definitely one of those that I would like to hike in the spring. But even at this time of year, the route had its charm. The paths were easy to walk and we were even able to climb the tower at the castle. If anyone wants to go there, remember to pay one euro per person for …

Around Cappenberg Castle

Cappenberg Castle was first documented in writing in 1092. In 1121, Count Gottfried von Cappenberg renounced secular life, handed over the castle and his property to Norbert von Xanten to establish a Premonstratensian monastery and entered there with his relatives. The few archaeological findings suggest that the castle complex dates back to the 10th and 11th centuries. …
