Beschreibung:

• From the Heimatverein information stand, the route leads southwards along a footpath, past the multi-generational playground and the mill pond. After crossing "Kardinal-von-Galen-Straße", the route runs along the Köllbach stream into the unspoilt Köllbach valley.
• There you cross a wooden bridge before the path leads onto the "Wieher Kirchweg". After about 150 metres, turn right onto a ridgeway to Marienbrünneken. The route circles the spring in a gentle curve.
• After around 500 metres, keep left back onto "Wieher Kirchweg", turn right shortly afterwards and then left again after around 20 metres towards "Ibbenbürener Straße".
• After crossing this road, follow the road "Zum Liethof". At the next junction, turn left onto "Gerichtsweg" until you reach a crossroads. From there, the route continues straight ahead uphill on "Höveringhausener Kirchweg" until it joins "Hothoweg".
• After around 200 metres, the "Mittelweg" branches off to the left and leads down into the valley. The path circles a farm and finally joins the "Papiermühlenweg". Turn left there and after about 40 metres turn right onto a field path. A worthwhile detour to the historic washing station is possible - it is located around 100 metres further along the "Papiermühlenweg".
• Back on the dirt track, the path leads down to the right after around 200 metres through a footpath through the settlement to Muckhorster Weg. Continue left there. After crossing Ibbenbürener Straße, you return to the starting point at the information stand of the local heritage association.
