July 19, 2025,Von Ledde nach Tecklenburg über die alte Gießkanne 19.07.2025

Today I walked a route I used to do often, but haven't done in a while.
I wanted to run a route that wasn't too challenging because my knee was giving me problems again.
I tried it with a brace, which was okay, but I could have done a few fewer kilometers. 😉

We had a lovely tour today in very gloomy and drizzly weather. Lovely forest paths and forest edge paths. We skipped Tecklenburg because of the weather

There are three, unfortunately quite old, watering can paths. The paths were marked at the time by the Tecklenburg Land Kneipp Club. Unfortunately, as with many older hiking trails, the markings are difficult to find or no longer exist. The hike was really fun and very varied. This tour can also be found on wanderlogbuch.de.

July 15, 2023,230715 Wanderung Gießkanne Ledde Tecklenburg

Today it was the turn of the watering can Ledde - Tecklenburg.
With the warm weather this was the right way.
A large part of the route is run in the forest and tall trees. There was a breath of fresh air.

The watering can path is really a nice hiking tour! My sweetheart had a good idea 💡. 😘 Fortunately, the rain spared us today (except for 4 - 5 drops), which we were happy about.

Unfortunately the photos are mixed up in numerical order. 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️ But if you tap them on the track, it works.

Beautiful, scenic and varied autumn hike with a stop in Tecklenburg. The only drawback is the noise from the A1, which is really not good for the Habichtswald. The paths are mostly easy to walk on, but are also muddy at times and there was a tree lying across the slope behind Tecklenburg. Shoes suitable for muddy conditions are therefore …

Udo wished for the watering can path for his birthday, and we hoped that it wouldn't pour from above as if from a watering can. Peter was very gracious to us. It was extremely windy 🌬🌬🌬, but the rain only fell from the sky when we were sitting in the car. A gift from heaven! 😁🥳
