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 …

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 …

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 …

The Pivitker Waterway connects idyllic lakes, meandering streams and the Hiddeser Bent moor over a comparatively short distance and has been certified as a quality path. So my expectations were quite high when I started at the parking lot.

The weather report had somehow misunderstood my plan to follow a waterway. And so a good shower had left small streams …
