Directions

You start at St. Christina's parish church and walk south towards Gütersloher Straße, which you cross and then follow Bolandstraße. The road leads you directly into the Boland, as the people of Herzebrock affectionately call their forest. Follow the gpx track and then cross Gütersloher Straße again to enter the forest on the left. After about one kilometer, you leave the forest and continue along meadows and fields. Keep left at Groppeler Straße and follow the cycle/footpath. The Kartoffelhof Wöstmann, recognizable from afar by a sign, has a farm store where you can buy regional products during opening hours. Back on Groppeler Straße, take the next turning on the right after the farm. Follow Groppeler Straße and cross Quenhorner Straße. Continue straight ahead. Now you come to Sandkamp, which you continue on the left. When you reach Storcksweg, turn right and take the first left onto Storcksweg. At the next T-junction, Weißes Venn, turn left. After a few kilometers, you will come to the Putz forest area. From here it is not far to the starting point, the church square in Herzebrock.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Visit one of the oldest monasteries in Westphalia, the Kanonissenstift Herzebrock, founded in 860. The park grounds with old fruit trees, duck ponds and a historic monastery garden invite you to linger and relax. On Sunday between 3 and 5 p.m., it is worth visiting the Herzebrock local history museum, which is housed in the north wing of the former monastery.
