- Start: Tecklenburg, market square
- Destination: Bad Iburg, Castle
The stage starts in the picturesque old town of Tecklenburg and ends at the castle in the Kneipp spa town of Bad Iburg.
Tip: It is worth making a detour to the remains of the mighty castle complex in Tecklenburg. From there, you can enjoy a fascinating view over the entire town center.
2. Length of the stage in kilometers / altitude difference / route character
The stage is 21 kilometers long and has an altitude difference of around 300 metres. The route is largely flat and natural.
3. Special landscape features
Along the stage, fresh lime beech forests with a dense carpet of spring flowers alternate with sparse and barren forests on sandstone. The trail from Lengerich is characterized by numerous quarries where limestone is or was quarried for cement production. Some quarries are protected and are no longer in use. Nevertheless, they are worth a detour. The most impressive of these is the "Lengerich Canyon". This quarry has been renaturalized and is a nature reserve. From two viewing platforms near the trail, you can look down onto the turquoise water deep below in the old quarry. The route is lined with many viewpoints.
Break tip: Halfway through the stage, it is worth stopping for refreshments at the traditional "Malepartus" inn.

Please note the following tip for the return journey from Bad Iburg to Tecklenburg (as we cross a state border here, we unfortunately have two transport associations, the VOS and the RVM, which unfortunately do not offer a continuous line):
Take a cab from Bad Iburg to Lienen (NRW) or hike the route from Bad Iburg to Lienen on foot.
In Lienen, take the bus from the Rathaus bus stop (line R46) to *Lengerich Bahnhof (ATTENTION! CHANGE! 1 minute - to line R45) and then continue to Tecklenburg.
This is the easiest and cheapest option to Tecklenburg, here the Fahrplanauskunft .
*In Lengerich you have to change to the bus to Tecklenburg. It could be that you are already on the right bus, you have to ask, sometimes the bus driver changes the destination of his journey in Lengerich so a bus change would not be necessary.
