WuBB Tour 5: Through the green into the blue

You start at the idyllically located Dorsten-Lembeck train station and are directly on the Hohe Mark Steig. You follow the magenta signposts east through beautiful forests. Plenty of time to dive in and take a deep breath! After 10,6 km you are at the Granat wildlife park, where you can take your well-deserved break. Then you walk another 12,8 km through forest and juniper landscape to Haltern am See, through the old town to the reservoir.

Tips for on the go:

• Biological station of the district of Recklinghausen with a cozy cottage garden and changing exhibitions, about 2,5 km after the start 
• Wildlife park Granat with refreshment stop or picnic 
• Holtwicker juniper heath with refreshments in the cozy Uhlenhof 
• Haltern am See: Stroll through town, city tour "Look and swallow", numerous places to stop for refreshments, break at the lake
