With Bonstapel and Bentorf WindmillThe typically wavy relief in the Lippe region, with its interplay of open fields and wooded heights, also shapes the Kalletal. Natural idylls amidst a rural cultural landscape almost invite exploration and discovery, with wonderful views into the distance repeatedly appearing. The question is only which of the numerous paths to assemble into a successful tour... With this suggestion, we move in the area of the Westerkalle and already touch the district of Herford, whose highest elevation – the 342-meter-high Bonstapel – should be included. Unfortunately, the view is overgrown right here, but the detour to the erratic boulder at the top takes hardly half an hour. After passing strange sinkholes, we then head to the village of Bentorf, where a windmill can be admired as a cultural special feature. Through the relaxing beech forests on the left and right of the Westerkalle, it finally goes back to Hohenhausen, the main town of the Kalletal municipality.

Typisch Natur - der Hemmensiek liegt ganz beschaulich und abgeschieden an der Grenze zwischen dem Kreis Herford und Lippe. Eine gute Idee, ihn mit einem Rundweg kennen zu lernen.

Heute den kurzen regenfreien Slot genutzt, um ne kleine Wanderung durch den Stadtwald von Bad Salzuflen zu machen. Ursprünglich hatten wir vor, bis zum Bismarktum in Herford zu laufen, haben dies aber abgekürzt, da es extrem windig gewesen ist und wir die ganze Zeit aufpassen mussten, keinen Ast auf den Kopf zu bekommen. Nächstes Mal bei besserem Wetter dann die größere Runde!
