Tour of the Giethmener church path and Besthmenerberg lookout tower

Your route starts at Camping and Chalet Park Bergzicht. Nearby you pick up the old church path between Giethmen and Ommen. The inhabitants of Giethmen used to walk this path to the church twice a Sunday. They crossed the river Regge via the charming drawbridge, an icon. On the 34 meter high Besthmenerberg there is a lookout tower that offers you a majestic view of the area. For example, you see the Sahara, a 20-hectare sand drift. This is due to overgrazing. In order to prevent the dusting, afforestation was usually done. Because the Sahara is freely accessible and is visited by, among other things, playing children, the sand drift is prevented from growing closed. You walk back through the romantic Reggedal. The Regge is allowed to meander again, a beautiful sight.
