The Teutoschleife "Bevergerner Pättken" invites you on a seven-kilometre circular trail full of nature and Westphalian old town romance. The journey, which can be walked all year round, begins along flat riverside paths and is classified as an easy hike with a total of 58 metres in altitude. The path offers insights into a lock system and views of the glittering waves of the canal before a beautiful avenue leads into the old town. Here, winding alleys and romantic half-timbered houses are waiting to be explored. Out of town, hikers cross a long bridge to the Nassen Dreieck (wet triangle), where the Dortmund-Ems Canal and the Mittelland Canal meet. At this point, a restaurant invites you to take a break. The trail continues at the foot of the "Teuto" into the impressive heights of the forest, on the Hucksberg. The trail curves along the southern edge of the forest back to the starting point.
