Hollow Way at Schlossgraben, Bodelschwingher Forest

Highlight • Forest

Nice little round first through the fields, then through a forest. Very close way with many blackberries and brenessels. Many fallen trees but you come across great. Later then again a fortified way

Sundial at Halde Schwerin

Highlight • Monument

The spoil heap of the former Graf Schwerin colliery is today the highest point in the city of Castrop-Rauxel – and one of the region's best-known landmarks. Which is not least thanks to the walkable sundial on the summit.
