November 12, 2022,NSG Geisterholz zwischen Oelde & Ennigerloh

A beautiful and relaxed walk around and through the NSG Geisterholz near Oelde. The weather was great and the forest / area was colored in all colors of autumn. An interesting stock of trees, blooming fields and the historic Haus Geist made the tour a special walk.

The Geisterholz forest in Oelde is simply beautiful. We missed the waterfall at the beginning, so we had to do part of the route twice.

The pack isn't complete 😨 - Jürgen is in northern Germany for the weekend, leaving the dog sad 🥺 - time for a different kind of dog walk 🐾. The tour offers a lovely mix of forest paths, views of Haus Geist, and the small Geisterbach waterfall. The small waterfall, a popular photo spot, was very busy, so we skipped …

Beautiful nature reserve near Oelde. In some places the path was quite muddy due to the heavy rain. But it is always nice to hike/walk there. You can also stop for a break at the Zum Geisterholz beer garden.

May 25, 2024,Tolle Waldrunde mit Einkehr im Geisterholz

Great route with lots of forest and for water-loving dogs, the odd opportunity to cool off.
Lots of forest, a little field and a horse farm - be careful, there might be some riders coming towards you. If it has rained a lot, it is very muddy in some places and it is advisable to take the larger paths instead.

Two highlights are particularly noteworthy, namely the Wasserschloss Haus Geist, which is privately owned, and at the end of the hike a small but very beautiful waterfall with a romantic …
