The woods are a lovely place to go hike at , really relaxing and you can actually go and see quite many, odd, but interesting monuments , like a big red cross in the middle of the forest , from afar it's very very unsettling , but that's the fun of an adventure !

Although not too much to see, however, easy access ruine of long time history. Once you want to complet the journey on "rocky castles and ruines", apart from Red Rock (Cerveny Kamen), Blue Rock (Modry Kamen) the White One (Biely Kamen) is small, but still worth to try.

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.
