Heidesee in the Kirchhellen Heath

Highlight • Lake

Very good trails with some small slopes. The nearby trails through the forest and on the shores of the Heidese are quite varied. In the summer months, it can be quite crowded at the lake on the weekends.

Pfingstsee

Highlight • Lake

We feel a special connection to some places. But what does that actually mean? And how does such a relationship differ from one with a person?

November 28, 2021,🌿Schlammgewühle am Rotbachtrail und am Spechtsbachtrail 🏞inklusive Halde Haniel⛰

Today we made a tour around the Haniel dump. First we rummaged through the muddy Rotbachtrail and then went up the Haniel dump. After enjoying the view above, we continued to the Spechtsbach trail, which was also very muddy. But that will not fail in November. From there we drove back to our starting point.
