Loosenberge an der Lippeaue

Approx. 1 km circular route, holiday idyll at Niederrhein between Schermbeck and Hünxe. This holiday idyll on the Lippeaue is somewhat hidden, but if you follow the path from the “Loosenberge” hiking car park, you will be rewarded with the sight of the majestic oak.

Close your eyes and feel the fine sand crunching under the soles of your shoes, listen to the humming and chirping, enjoy the special scent of the juniper bushes and treat yourself to this special break from everyday life.

Since grazing animals shun juniper due to its bitter taste and prefer to eat tasty tree shoots from oak or birch trees, the magnificent juniper stands were able to develop here and are today witnesses to an ancient cultural landscape.

Follow the sandy path and immerse yourself in this gem with its juniper bushes. Growing like columns or balls on the ground, they announce the five-kilometer-long stretch of dunes.
