Erwitte: Muckenbruch March

The name Muckenbruch actually derives from the use of peat as fuel. “Mucken” are the brick-sized peat blocks that were cut for this purpose. As salt extraction gained more momentum, more peat was also extracted from the Muckenbruch.

The “Muckenbruch March” leads through the spa park past the two large, historic graduation towers as well as the Kneipp facility with barefoot path. Along the trout path, it goes over the bridge at the Gieseler into the nature reserve and peat extraction area "Muckenbruch" and back through the town center and the spa promenade to the fountain in front of the Hellweg brine thermal baths.

There are dining options along the route.
