Active holiday Hiking boots meet juniper heath

This short trip in Telgte with an easy to moderate hike takes you to one of the most beautiful picnic spots in the district of Warendorf - the juniper heath in the Klatenberge. In this unique natural setting, you can take a deep breath and get to know hiking and picnicking, which is popular in the region. Here you will find almost 4 hectares of dune landscape with gnarled juniper bushes and old oak trees. A breathtaking sight, especially in August and September when the heather is in bloom! If you're lucky, you might also spot an ant lion; a small brownish-coloured insect larva that catches ants and other small animals by building funnels in the sandy ground.

The tour is also suitable for beginners. So put on your hiking boots and off you go!

Hike and enjoy

After checking into the Hotel Telgter Hof, you start your hike into the Klatenberge at the market square. Via Kapellenstraße, past the church and chapel to the River Ems, the route takes you leisurely through the old town centre. At the Christoph-Bernsmeyer-Haus, take the X15 hiking trail upstream to Haus Langen and the striking double mill next to the former manor house.

The route then continues along the X15/X4 hiking trail to Westbevern. You can take a break along the Bever river or in a cosy beer garden. Refreshed, the route continues towards Telgte as far as the Westbevern exit sign. From here, follow the 160-year-old Way of the Cross to the Klatenberge nature reserve.

The route continues along well-maintained sandy paths to the juniper heath - the remnants of a heathland that was once widespread in Münsterland. It's time for a picnic break! The highest dune top in the area offers a beautiful panoramic view of the landscape. After the hike, you can round off the day on the market square with delicious food and cool drinks.
