Nice hike with no major problems for everyone!
https://youtu.be/egL7-SAAKDU?si=3BwQXZBv0s2MzwD1 Komoot was difficult today with the route and the photos. Fortunately, this walk was well provided with route signs. We have planned to hike all the TEUTOSCHLEIFEN again in the coming period
😃 It was worth taking the long drive! The Teutoschleife „Heiliges Meer“ is a wonderful, varied route: idyllic nature, calm lakes, gentle hills, and inspiring views. Ideal for a relaxed hike – absolutely recommendable! 👌 🐻****************************************🐻 Parking: Parking lot Hotel Mutter Bahr, Nordbahnstr. 39, in Ibbenbüren-Uffeln on the L 598 alternatively: Parking lot "Heiliges Meer" on the L504, Hugostraße 73. 🐻****************************************🐻 Arrival and departure by 🚌 public transport 🚂 🚃 on this tour: Start/End: Weekdays from Ibbenbüren line RFB T28 (bus station platform A/1) to the stop "Wieter, Uffeln (Ibbenbüren)"
On the way back home from Sauerland, we stopped to walk one of the Teutoschleifen walks. Last year we did 3 of them. They were beautiful, especially the Canyon blick and Tecklenburger Bergpfad. This route was completely different... It was mostly flat, different, but also beautiful!😊
On our 10th wedding anniversary, we went for a hike along the sacred sea. Enjoyed the beautiful weather. When I was there a few years ago, part of the trail was underwater, and I got my feet wet.
Put on your hiking boots and head out into nature. With a bright blue sky, we headed towards the Holy Sea today. Changed our plans at short notice, slept too long 😇
Today the first day of my holiday in Germany. It was a nice varied walk and the weather was sunny and warm. Fortunately most of the walk was in the shade. Nice walk.
I actually always avoided this Teuto loop because I preferred longer and more demanding hikes. But it's really beautiful, especially with this great weather ☀️, and given my current physical condition, it's exhausting enough for me 😏
