Teutoschleife Sloopsteener Seerunde
Nordic charm meets Westphalia’s largest megalithic tomb – these and other highlights await you on the Teutoschleife Sloopsteener Seerunde trail near Westerkappelnand Lotte. Put on your walking boots and off you go. Right after setting off from the car park on Sloopsteinweg, the cultural inspiration behind this walking trail comes into view: the Sloopsteene. It is thought that those who lived here 4,000 years ago found their final resting place beneath these massive boulders.
The route continues through stunning woodland sections, past venerable beech and oak trees, and along idyllic lakeside paths around the glistening blue Niedringhaussee. Eventually, you’ll find yourself on a proper sandy beach, inviting you to linger and daydream. Sand between your toes, the tangy scent of pine in the air – it’s as if you were in Scandinavia.
The Sloopsteener Seerunde gently guides you back into the local forest, parts of which, with their majestic, hall-like atmosphere, lift your spirits. The 6.7-kilometre route finally ends between the edge of the forest and the meadows, offering beautiful panoramic views.
