Heath Edge Trail in Naturpark Hohe Mark - Westmünsterland

Highlight • Trail

Very beautiful path with lots of beautiful nature. Partly forest, partly heath and also nice spots to linger and enjoy. Only in the background you can hear the noise of the nearby road, but it doesn't really bother.

A very beautiful route, difficult in some places with an outdoor walker. But it was worth it 😊

After my better half didn’t like cycling today, we went back to Westruper Heide and did a little lap in wonderful autumn weather through colorful forests, along the lake and back through the heath.

Another trip to the Westrup Heath this year... We caught the best time, everything is blooming beautifully, and there are purple carpets of heather to marvel at. A wonderful tour... shortened due to the heat. The reward was Jupp's - a visit there is a must! 🌸😍🤩🌲🌳

A nice walk through the Westruper Heide followed by a visit to the seaside resort of Haltern. In the warm weather, the boys enjoyed the water and we sat in the sand in the beach chair 😄

Today we were at Hslternwer See or in the surrounding nature reserve. It's not called Wiltruper Heide for nothing, the typical heath landscape is beautiful to look at.
Extensive paths allow an interesting route.

The Halterner See is impressive and we only saw a small part. We will definitely come back there again.
