Hasselbacher Trail

Highlight • Trail

It's super cool to walk so close to the water. If this path is too difficult for you, you can stay on the paved path.

We started the Pivitker Water Trail directly at the Donoper Pond parking lot.
Sandy paths first led us past Donoper Pond to the smaller Krebsteich (crab pond).
From there, the trail climbed up into the forest. We kept to the right and soon reached the viewing platform at Hiddeser Bent, which offered us
a view of the moorland landscape nestled …

The Pivitker Waterway connects idyllic lakes, meandering streams and the Hiddeser Bent moor over a comparatively short distance and has been certified as a quality path. So my expectations were quite high when I started at the parking lot.

The weather report had somehow misunderstood my plan to follow a waterway. And so a good shower had left small streams …

Our 29th wedding anniversary was today - 11.8.24 - on this very hot Sunday, like the previous days - around 27 degrees.

I wanted to go there last year.
@couchflucht liked the tour, so we're …

Pure nature on the four-lake circuit - The Pivitker waterway runs through a unique moor and water landscape. The path runs along the Hasselbach past four ponds and lakes: Donoper Pond, Hasselbach Reservoir and Krebsteich. Further along, the A1 also touches the Blauer See. This path promises variety and pure nature - a real pleasure in nature. teutoburgerwald.de/natur/wanderregion/blog-wanderregion/pivitker-wasserweg

This is my home range. I have walked this path countless times, about 50 years ago together with my grandfather and his walking stick. Walked through the Hasselbach, feet in the sand and watched the fish. Worth a hike in every season.
