Wanderweg A 1 - Mit der Kirche um's Dorf

The circular trail starts in the small Rheda-Wiedenbrück parish of St. Vit, where you can first visit the beautiful baroque parish church before setting off on the trail.

The trail first takes you through the St. Viter Busch, then continues to the left via Wieksweg until you reach Geweckenhorster Straße on the left. You then cross a bridge over the A2 highway. From the bridge, you have a good view of the Stromberger Heights to the southwest. To the northeast, you will see the district of Rheda with the tower of the Protestant town church. To the right of the highway, you can see the Wiedenbrück district with the tower of the Aegidius church and, further to the right, the tower of the Marienkirche church. On a clear day, you can see the mountains of the Teutoburg Forest in the background.

After crossing Oelder Straße, the path leads you further into Hambusch, a wooded area that once belonged to the princely Bentheim-Tecklenburg family and served as a local recreation area. There are some sensible, more natural shortcuts here if the path is too long for you. After passing through this section of forest and crossing the Oelder Straße again in a southerly direction, the trail leads you back to the starting point via the Radheide past the Neuhaus estate.

Please note the information on safety and equipment in advance. The trail is no longer marked on site. For orientation, please use the digital map, download the gpx track or print out the route as a pdf in advance.

Have fun and: Have a good trip at all times!
