    Sehr abwechslungsreiche, informative Tour. Es gibt zahlreiche Tafeln im Buchholzer Forst, die informatives zum ehemaligen Kohlerevier Ibbenbüren erzählen, inklusive Stollen und Aussichten vom Turm ins flache Niedersachsen inklusive Audioguide. Am Mittellandkanal mit der Marina Recke lässt es herrlich flanieren. Sogar Geocaching ist hier wunderbar möglich. Kurzum, mein aktueller Teutoschleifchen Favorit.
