Nikolausweg - Alternativroute "Großes Torfmoor"

Pilgerweg zwischen den Nikolauskirchen in Bergkirchen und Gehlenbeck (Alternativstrecke durch das Große Torfmoor: 35 km)

Covering 5.6 km, this is a satisfying walk that most reasonably fit hikers will complete in about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Follow the NW waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
