Today the weather is just as wonderful as yesterday. We're walking the Pivitker Wasserweg, another beautiful route through the Teutoburg Forest.

August 20, 2025,Natur pur auf der Vier-Seen-Runde - Der Pivitker Wasserweg

We started the Pivitker Water Trail directly at the Donoper Pond parking lot.
Sandy paths first led us past Donoper Pond to the smaller Krebsteich (crab pond).
From there, the trail climbed up into the forest. We kept to the right and soon reached the viewing platform at Hiddeser Bent, which offered us
a view of the moorland landscape nestled …

A taste of pure autumn. It got quite muddy towards the end, but otherwise the trails were great.👍

August 11, 2024,Teutoburger Wald, Detmold - Pivitker Wasserweg

Our 29th wedding anniversary was today - 11.8.24 - on this very hot Sunday, like the previous days - around 27 degrees.
Yes, we decided to take this tour despite the 1.5 hour drive to Detmold because the Teutoburg Forest is said to be very water-rich ;-)
I wanted to go there last year.
@couchflucht liked the tour, so we're …

August 13, 2024,Pivitker Wasserweg mit fehlender Schleife durchs Hiddeser Bent

So, the missing loop through Hiddeser Bent was added today. I really have to say that despite the really great heat today, this tour is easy to do. Almost exclusively shade and the water provides additional cooling. It is much worse to get into the completely overheated car afterwards.
Today there were a lot of people out with dogs who …

Pure nature on the four-lake circuit - The Pivitker waterway runs through a unique moor and water landscape. The path runs along the Hasselbach past four ponds and lakes: Donoper Pond, Hasselbach Reservoir and Krebsteich. Further along, the A1 also touches the Blauer See. This path promises variety and pure nature - a real pleasure in nature. teutoburgerwald.de/natur/wanderregion/blog-wanderregion/pivitker-wasserweg

September 10, 2023,Pivitker Wasserweg: Hermannshöhen Tourentipp 12 🥾🥾☀️

Once again I only had a smaller time window for a tour and was looking for something short nearby:
Beautiful paths, several great lakes, the Hiddenser Bent, a now autumnal forest and some creepy crawlies observed 🤩
Afterwards there were freshly baked muffins from the daughter and coffee - perfect Sunday 😍
