At the transition from the Lower Rhine to the Münsterland The history of the cultural landscape Dingdener Heide has been very changeable over the last centuries. Originally, the forest changed to heath, then back to forest, while meadows were transformed into arable land. Accordingly, this circular hike is also very diverse.

… further towards the northernmost point of the Pott. Hiked on August 24, 2019. Very nice path along the Borkener and Bocholter Aa. I shortened the route a bit at the beginning due to the expected heat. A pity, I definitely missed some beautiful spots.
This route runs completely north of the Ruhr area.
