View of the Melle Hills and surroundings

Highlight • Viewpoint

The cause of the "clear cut" can be traced back to "Kyrill". This storm did a huge amount of damage to the forest. Where the trees were blown over by the storm, the grandiose view is today.

Zwickenbach Valley Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very nice hiking section in the thickly vegetated valley. You walk parallel to Zwickenbach and cross many small bridges. A nature trail with various stations and boards explains the Zwickenbachtal.

Ottoshöhe Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the top you have a very nice view of Melle. When the weather is good, you can see the power plant in Ibbenbüren from the Ottoshöhe or see Osnabrück as far as the Piesberg.

May 11, 2024,Elmo lernt das "geplatzte Sofakissen" kennen 🤣🤣

My adult daughter has now also "got a dog"....an 8-month-old miniature spitz (second hand dog)
Cleo is still VERY unsure (she has hardly experienced anything 🙈😢)....at first she also "barked" at Elmo...but she quickly realized that Elmo was not dangerous and she became more and more relaxed and was able to enjoy the walk (to everyone's delight)
