Campingplatz Eurocamp

Direct from the site, join the 14-kilometre Teutoschleife Holperdorper trail, which also twice crosses the 156-kilometre Hermannsweg (Hermann Trail) and runs along the ridge of Teutoburg forest and eventually through the Teutoburg Forest/Egge Hills Nature Park just over an hour’s drive away. Part of the 100-kilometre Ahornweg (Maple Trail) stretches through the southern part of the Osnabrück region, and and has five spectacular viewpoints along its highly scenic route. The local villages of Lienen, Bad Iburg and Hagen are all within eight kilometres. For somewhere to swim and splash around in, Lienen has a big outdoor public pool, and for something a tad unusual, there’s a two and a half-kilometre trail to walk without shoes along timber, bark mulch and pebbles among grassy areas, clay and trickling brooks, at the town’s Barfuss-Park (aka Barefoot Park). While you’re getting happily stuck into that, the tiddlers will be kept plenty busy at the water and mud splash area next door. If you’re keen on exploring the area’s history, a particular highlight at Bad Iburg is its 12th-century castle and surrounding Charlottensee gardens and lake, for boat rides and waterside ambles, or you can head to the saltworks and rose garden at Bad Rothenfelde.
