Hollwinkel Wood

With a wooded area of 47 hectares it is the largest stretch of woodland between the Wiehen Hills and the Mittelland Canal within the county of Minden-Lübbecke and also the largest wood in the borough of Preußisch Oldendorf north of the Wiehen, and Egge.

The wood measures around 1.3 km from northeast to southwest and, at its widest point, around 700 metres (2,300 ft) from east to west.

Hollwinkel Wood is bounded in the west by the Große Aue river and in the east by the boundary of the borough of Lübbecke.

Around 4 kilometres of walking trails and forest tracks make it a popular recreation area for the surrounding towns and villages.

The Wiehen foothills in particular to the north are intensively farmed and have few large areas of woodland.
