The Tecklenburger Bergpfad is characterized by untouched nature, magnificent panoramic views and medieval charm. In addition to shady paths in dense forests and narrow ridge paths, the route is characterized by fantastic forest paths through colourful meadows and bizarre rocky landscapes. Along the way, you can discover a secluded forest chapel, the Blücherfelsen natural monument, the Heidentempel or Roland's grave. An educational tree trail delights with tree wonders from all over the world. The last few kilometers of the Tecklenburger Bergpfad in particular offer wonderful views of the northern Münsterland. The climatic health resort of Tecklenburg exudes plenty of historical flair. Lovingly restored half-timbered houses, romantic alleyways and staircases, the moated castle Haus Mark and the old castle ruins, now the home of the open-air theater, take you back to times long past.
If you want to start from the old town, follow the Hermannsweg trail markings, a white H on a black background, and the Teutoschleifen access route signs.

Directions
Starting point is the "Münsterlandblick" parking lot, right here is the first vantage point with a wonderful view. Follow the footpath to the left to the Bismarck Tower (key in the hotel), a wonderful panoramic view rewards the ascent. Shortly after the tower, turn left past residential buildings into the forest. At the signpost, turn right downhill and continue along the forest nature trail down in the valley. There are tree wonders from all over the world to marvel at, e.g. tulip tree and weeping pine. At the Voß farm, continue uphill to a large mushroom resting place in the shade of the forest. The path climbs once again and then leads along the Hermannsweg at the top of the ridge to the Holthausen forest chapel and the viewing point with a "listening station". From the Blücherfelsen natural monument, the trail descends. We cross the tracks of the Teutoburg Forest Railway and reach the entrance to Brochterbeck (refreshments available there).
A narrow meadow path leads along the edge of the village, then up steps to the limestone quarry. Continue left along the ridge, above the large quarry, downhill to the right at the model airfield. We stroll leisurely through meadows to the Stallfort farm, continuing along the edge of the golf club and past pastures. The path now leads steeply uphill to the left through a hollow path past the Rolandsgrab. The main path remains on the ridge, then downhill to a pretty estate. On the witches' path, we climb "devilishly steep" up to Tecklenburg and back to the parking lot.
If you want to avoid the challenging ascent to Tecklenburg, hike the trail in the opposite direction (clockwise).
