Hiking

On this nearly nine-kilometer hike, grassland as far as the eye can see awaits! The landscape between the Ruschwede and Fintau streams is dominated by meadows, fields, and forests. The 58-meter-high Osterberg rises in between. The sheepfold offers a great place to take a break. If you're looking for peace…

August 23, 2022,Nordpfad #23 (19/24) Osterberg

After a very short drive from my first north path today (komoot.de/tour/899836853), another one should be hiked. When I'm in the area. In a good mood after the beautiful first 10 kilometer lap, I parked "at the foot" of the Osterberg. In fact, I could have left it at that. The already short lap of just over eight kilometers could …

Today I completed the second part of my duty as a trail sponsor on the Nordpfad Osterberg. Since the markings were missing or missing in many positions, this was the main work.

The 24 northern paths are signposted throughout according to the marking guidelines of the German Hiking Association.

Unspectacular; Field, forest and meadow paths alternate. Quite nice, but without real highlights.

Sun, cold... that's the perfect combination for getting some fresh air nearby. I chose the Osterberg North Trail.

The loop is unhurried and peaceful.

The tour begins at the charming local history museum, winds through Fintel, and soon I find myself on a path with expansive views. Fields and meadows alternate along the way. I stop for a photo break …
