Barkhausen Dinosaur Tracks

Highlight • Natural Monument

You just pass some dinosaur replicas and follow the way up. Also for children no problem. Above you stand in front of the huge tracks and can study some boards.
The place is outside and does not cost entry.

Beautiful waterfalls at the Green Lake. A really cool location. You run over Kasskaden into the lake. Some are bigger, some are smaller. They are all beautiful and it ripples so beautifully.

Highlight • Lake

Nice excursion destination, here children can play in the water and the lake hut invites you to have a piece of cake.

Wonderful trails

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's simply wonderful how the route here runs sometimes over wider, sometimes very narrow paths through the quiet forest. At the edge of the path there are nice spots for a coffee break! :)

August 28, 2021,Ein ziemlich bedeckter Terra Track Kellenberg
Mh .... normally I like the Terra Tracks very much ..... but the Kellenberg ranks rather far back in the order of the beautiful Terra Tracks
No highlights worth mentioning ... unfortunately some clear cutting ... asphalted hiking trails and gravel paths .... few soft forest paths ....
You can walk it ... but you don't have to 🙈

The TerraTracks are excellently signposted, yet I still manage to take the wrong turn or not turn at all every single time 🫣 twice today. The first time, I ended up in the middle of a meadow, and then I ended up walking 300 meters on a road instead of just 50. 😉

The start of the tour at the Green Lake is a bit confusing. The path is heavily overgrown. Occasionally, the Komoot app crashes.

Mostly wide, good hiking trails in the shade through the forest, with beautiful views. Dinosaur tracks are, of course, the highlight.
The return route is partly via trails, some of which are overgrown, but OK. The trails …

The hike around the large and small Kellerberg is a beautiful tour. It is just a shame that there has been considerable clearing, especially on the Wedekindsweg, which tarnishes the landscape a little. The view of Buer and the green lake with its brook remain the highlights.

In the middle part of the hike there were also navigation problems offline.

Beautiful tour around the large and small Kellenberg. If you want, you can also just hike around a mountain.

What do you do when the heat is around 30°C - of course a hike (I must have been kind of crazy 😎)
This time we went to Prussian Oldendorf/ Bad Essen. I was there in the corner about 2-3 years ago.
The first 4 km of the hike are boring standard fare - i.e. standard forest, forest roads and …

Today together with Peter Löwen shot a round from the Dino tracks Barkhausen.

We saw signs from the Terra Track Kellenberg almost everywhere and now that I have placed the GPX next to mine from the hike, the realization: a bit more bulbous, but still damn close.
