You can also enjoy the opportunity to include mounds and the only high moor in the Teutoburg Forest “Hiddeser Bent” as a worthwhile waypoint in your hike. Numerous beautiful viewpoints will accompany you on your way. Further sights are the former 150 year old shooting ranges, which served generations of military and police units for practice.

A scenically worth seeing round tour of a good 11 km long. This is a somewhat more challenging hike, as you always hike at altitudes of around 300m and overcome a total of approx. 454 metres in altitude. Partly you hike on the popular long-distance hiking trail “Hermannsweg”.

Then you reach the triple-river stone. This stone is intended to appeal to people’s environmental awareness to conserve and protect our water resources and also serves as a marker where the water catchment areas of the Rhine, Ems and Weser meet.
