Hiking
The sandy forest and heath area between Nordlohne and Schepsdorf, which was formerly used as a military site, is home to the Bentheim sheep. This particular breed of sheep is threatened with extinction. In addition, an interesting nature trail runs through the heath with stations for young and old.
The hike begins at the Heimathaus on the outskirts of Lohne. Along roads and on forest paths it goes to Nordlohne, where you meet the already mentioned heath area. Climb towers, test your knowledge at quiz stations and keep an eye out for the Bentheim sheep. Various rest areas invite you to take a break in the shade of old pines.
Passing the fascinating sand dunes you hike back into the forest. The tour then takes you on flat paths to the center of Lohne. There you will find a few places to stop before you walk back to the starting point.

Particularly noteworthy is the hiking trail (possibly also mountain bike) over the Bentheimer mountains. A highlite!
