Rest area with benches and insect-themed art at Hirschpark Nordkirchen

Highlight • Rest Area

Even in sunny weather, the chestnuts donate a lot of shade. And if the cow meadow is occupied you can watch it all well.

October 3, 2025,Schloss Nordkirchen mit Schleife

Since the rain somehow didn't come today as predicted, we finally got up and drove to Nordkirchen.
Unfortunately, the castle was partially covered in scaffolding 🥲, but it was still beautiful. A town festival was in full swing in the village, so we only stopped there briefly. It was just too crowded, so we opted for forest bathing instead.

We combined the hike in Nordkirchen with a visit to the "Everyday People" exhibition by Christel and Laura Lechner. More than 50 concrete figures stand individually or in groups outdoors at 15 locations and celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of the municipality in the Münsterland region.

A destination which, due to its beauty, never gets boring, even on a daily hike, is the Nordkirchen deer park. 🦌

The complete outer loop is exactly 6 kilometers long and because I live in Ascheberg, I always start at the geographically closest point, the Altfeld farm, better known as the organic farm at Altefelds Holz in the Altendorf farming …

Nordkirchen Castle is worth a visit at any time of the year, even without filming. You can also stroll through the castle park without a bike... A hike through the deer park was announced beforehand.

June 29, 2022,Nordkirchen: Ums Schloss herum und durch den Hirschpark

Today we also went on a hike by bike, because my junior took part in an offer from the Nordkirchen holiday camp and wanted me to accompany him to the castle community. 🚲

When we arrived at the Johann-Conrad-Schlaun-School in Nordkirchen, we split up: my son expanded his graffiti spraying skills, I went on the hiking trails of the castle …
