Forest, planets and castles

The surroundings of camping Borken am See are worth exploring.  Walk over the forest paths and country lanes and enjoy the forests and moors. In cooperation with natural park Hohe Mark Westmünsterland and the Westfälische Heimatbund multiple walking tracks have been compiled. The routes of various distances are available at the reception of the campsite.

Route of the planets

How far is the distance between the earth and the sun? How big is the sun and how many planets are there? Answer these and many other astronomic questions by following the path of the planets. This track (6 km) starts directly from the campsite and you can follow the path by foot or by bike. With every step you travel a million kilometres. Start with the sun and walk across Venus and Mercury to the earth.
