The castle was closed when we visited but we found an enchanting tree-vine passage that looked just like the hole the rabbit disappeared into just like in Alice in Wonderland. The passage ( ?? Mosquitoes & flies warning) lets in little light and can feel scary with the tangle of roots and vines. Takes 10min to stroll and a few minutes if you get scared and start sprinting ?. On the other side is a park with some view and resting areas.

We took this path from Helsingborg to Sofiero and it was full of nature and surprising views, especially like a vegetal tunnel or views over the sea and Denmark coast.

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.
