Quiet Wiehengebirge hiking at a site steeped in history

With TERRA.track Schmittenhöhe, you can hike through the Breite Heide forest area and Kalkrieser Berg northwest of Ostercappeln in the Bramsch district of Evinghausen in the Wiehengebirge mountains.

The Varus Battle between the Romans and Germanic tribes in 9 AD is said to have taken place nearby. Just a few kilometers away from this TERRA.track is the Museum Varus Battle and Park Kalkriese. More than 2000 years after the battle between the Romans and Germanic tribes, Kalkriese is still a special place today. Scientific research into the Varus Battle has been taking place here for almost 30 years.
