It's a lovely hike through woods. Some parts of the path are very steep, but even if you're not in a particularly good shape (like yours truly) it's more than manageable. We left the car in the village, in front of the church, and it took us about an hour to reach the ruins on foot. The first part of the path is really lovely, it's mostly in the shade and offers views of lovely fields. The part that goes up through the wood is also very lovely, it's very peaceful and quiet.

Quite a well-preserved building. Solidly marked access hiking trail, perhaps a little neglected.

Wonderful and worth a visit After thirty minutes of easy walking along the hill with a well-marked hiking trail, there is a reward in the form of a long forgotten tower that is so close to Nova Gradiška and so unknown and forgotten.

Kakesbeck Castle

Kakesbeck is one of the largest medieval fortifications in Münsterland and the oldest castle in Lüdinghausen. The imposingly grown complex originated in 1120 as a motte, a small hilltop tower castle. After numerous changes of ownership, the castle was extended onto two islands, but it was not until the 14th century that it underwent significant alterations and extensions under the von Oer family. The estate experienced its heyday in the middle of the 18th century, when it covered an area of almost one square kilometre and consisted of five further outer castles in addition to the core castle, which were secured by ramparts and moats.

The well-maintained condition of the castle today is thanks to the late Wilfried Grewing, the former lord of the castle. The foundation named after him has been particularly committed to preserving the property since 2020.
