The 164-metre-high telecommunications tower on the Teutoburg Forest is often in view. This Bielefeld landmark is visible from every district of the city.
(!) Feeder route from Brackwede station (2x 3.5 km) /Round trip:
The Brackwede natural pool is located on the feeder route. The crystal-clear, sparkling fresh water of the outdoor pool comes from the nearby Ems-Lutter spring. Purification by mineral filters ensures first-class, chlorine-free water quality.
The Luttertal in the Brackwede district is a natural green space. Ponds and meadows, which were once used for bleaching fabrics, have developed into a "wilderness" over time.About 1736, the water mill on the Ems-Lutter was built to replace the original Niemöller flour mill from 1535 after it burned down. The association "Freunde und Förderer der Mühle Niemöller in Quelle e. V." regularly invites visitors to the mill café.
The first stop on the circular route is the Osthusschule Museum. It was established in 1995 in two buildings of a Prussian country school, which were built in 1832 and 1895 respectively. The spacious outdoor facilities include herbaceous beds, a small rose garden and a herb garden worth seeing. In addition to a historic classroom, there are many other things to discover in the school museum every Tuesday afternoon from everyday school life at the time. Group tours and historical lessons for school classes are available by appointment.
The rest of the tour takes you along quiet roads along the Reiherbach and Röhrbach. They offer a relaxed cycling experience in open countryside between meadows, fields and small woods. The two streams give their names to the approximately 132-hectare nature reserve in the Windflöte district.The Hof Ramsbrock, first mentioned in a document in 1556, was one of the most important farms in the Senne. Since 2012, a support association has been renovating and converting the municipal landscape conservation farm. Children, young people and adults can experience nature and its diversity at numerous events here.
