Great views and lots of nature

The Höxberg, located south of the city, attracts many recreation-seekers every year, including numerous cycling groups and families. At 162 metres above sea level, it is the highlight of Beckum in the truest sense of the word. This is already noticeable from the great view of Beckum (at station 9 of the cement route you have a great panoramic view and a nice place to rest) and on the other side as far as the Haarstrang (in good visibility you can see from the Soestwarte or at the mill).

Soestwarte

Einen Rundumblick ins Münsterland – und bei klarem Wetter sogar bis ins Sauerland – hat man vom Aussichtsturm Soestwarte, einem Wartturm der mittelalterlichen Landwehr. Im Inneren des Turmes sind die sogenannten Beckumer Anschläge zu sehen. Der Turm ist von April bis September täglich von 9 bis 20 Uhr geöffnet. In der anderen Jahreshälfte schließt der Turm bereits um 17 Uhr.

An extensive animal enclosure, the old windmill as well as restaurants and hotels are in the immediate vicinity.
