View over the valley into the sunset from €39.00 per night

What fascinates you? A beautiful sunset by the campfire, or is it the starry night, with almost no light pollution? You will find this parking space on the rural outskirts of Ibbenbüren, in the Bockraden farming community, in the middle of the Schafbergplatte cultural landscape area. You are on the site of a former farming community school, which has been converted into residential areas. Small concerts or other small cultural events take place here from time to time, but most of the time it is quiet. We will inform you if your booking is missed. Surroundings The diversity of the region invites you to hike or cycle. In Ibbenbüren you will find the Teutoburg Forest with the Hermannsweg. You can definitely set off on multi-day hikes here, or you can treat yourself to a picnic on the “hockendes Weib” rock formation and enjoy the view over the Münsterland. Would you like to climb? The Brumleytal is one of four valleys whose walls are up to 24 meters high and are not entirely easy. An alternative, but no less exciting option is a visit to the climbing forest at Aasee. Visit the Tüötten village of Mettingen (5 km) and follow in the footsteps of the Tüötten (linen merchants) from the 16th/17th century. The museums in the village show you how the wandering merchants, the Tüötten, became one of the most experienced and pioneering trading companies in the international fashion industry. The fashion and trading house C & A has its roots right here in this small village (Tüötten Museum and the Draiflessen Museum). In Recke (4 km) the Mittelland Canal awaits you, for example, for fishing. The canal or the forest outdoor pool located directly by the marina also invite you to cool off wonderfully in hot summers. Are you looking for culture... The art house "DA Kloster Gravenhorst" is easily accessible by bike (6 km). ...or...how about a visit to the largest open-air music theater in Germany? The Tecklenburg open-air stage (15 km), in the ruins of Tecklenburg Castle, offers more than 2,300 seats for plays, operas, operettas, musicals and other music events. The town center with its many half-timbered houses is also worth seeing. And if you want a bit more "city," Osnabrück can be reached by train in 14 minutes. The journey to Münster takes a little longer at almost 50 minutes (by car or train). You can find weekly markets in Ibbenbüren (3.5 km) on Wednesdays and Fridays. Supermarkets, doctors and pharmacies are 2.5 km away. The area around our parking space is hilly. With the extensive carboniferous sandstone quarries on the Kälberberg and Dickenberg, the abandoned ore mining on the Rochusknapp and the evidence of historical coal mining (including mining pits and mouths) and modern coal mining (including pits, tailings dumps, drainage tunnels, narrow-gauge railway lines), numerous mining traces that characterize the landscape from this time that was once important for the region are still visible. You may notice... we are "in love with our homeland"!!! And with all the activism, my favorite place is still the garden with the beautiful sunsets and the unique starry night... (Andreas)
