Very cool that the lock is passable. However, the path ends in nothing, so the path above should be chosen. Nevertheless, a great idea for reuse.

Honest dishes are served here. Whether it's a hearty snack after a long bike ride or classic Westphalian specialties – the cuisine focuses on down-to-earthness and quality from the region. 🥩🥔

🚲🍴✨ The Gasthaus Zur Alten Post in Schale is a true stalwart of Westphalian hospitality and the convivial center of the idyllic Hopsten district. Located in the immediate vicinity of the historic Schale monastery church, this establishment breathes history and invites you for a cozy stopover.

First mentioned in the 13th century as the knight's seat of Otto von Hange.

Gut Hange is a historical knight's seat from the 13th century south of Freren in Emsland, located as a listed moated castle in a park. After use by Thuiner Franciscan nuns and as a "Fazenda da Esperanca" community, the estate was sold in 2023. It offers an idyllic setting with old trees.

I must have driven past it a thousand times by car, but I finally took a bike tour to the castle and I have to say: I was thrilled! A very beautiful complex and the park invites you to linger. Absolutely recommended!
