Do you love genuine time out in nature? Then join me early in the morning through the Silberbach Valley, up to the Prussian and Lippe Velmerstot – with quiet moments, thorny adventures, and a magical view from the Egge Tower. A hike that lets you breathe – and truly does something to you.
Sunny Sunday and a craving for nature? Then head to the Berlebeck Eagle Sanctuary! Perfect for birds of prey enthusiasts, photography lovers, and anyone who enjoys culture.

Do you know that feeling when you need to recharge your mental batteries? I did just that and hiked from the Externsteine to the Hermann Monument. Join me on my journey through beautiful heathland, past impressive rock formations and picturesque villages in the Teutoburg Forest.
We enjoyed a short but sweet hike to the Velmerstot, where we admired the beauty and challenges of winter. We crossed the Silberbach stream without a bridge, saw icy trees, and enjoyed a clear view from the Prussian Velmerstot. We had a great time, despite the Eggeturm tower being closed and in need of renovation, and a misleading hiking app. This hike was a real adventure!
On the way to mental relaxation: Our hike through Schieder with the Plöger paper mill and impressive river floods after days of rain was a small adventure.
A fantastic opportunity to photograph native wildlife "right on your doorstep" while enjoying some fresh air: The walk around the Norderteich pond in Horn-Bad Meinberg. Deer, swans, ducks, robins, and coots in less than 2 hours.
More or less spontaneously, a good friend and former colleague and I set off at 11:00 AM for the Velmerstot Climate Experience Route near Veldrom, a small village belonging to the town of Horn-Bad Meinberg. We wanted to test our hiking limits for our planned trek across the Alps in September, seeing how long we could walk in a single day. We drove together for half an hour to the starting point of the hike, which is signposted as 17.9 km (a slight detour is worthwhile...). Read more » Velmerstot Climate Experience Route
Our little excursion to Kalletal (a mere 30 minutes from our home) begins quite leisurely in the late morning around 10:00 a.m. Arriving in Kalletal, or more precisely in the small village of Langenholzhausen, we initially have a few minor difficulties finding a parking spot at the intended starting point of the route. Finally, we opt for a church parking lot, put on our light gear, and set off. After about 300 meters on the trail, we realize that we could have also started on the main road… Read more » Luhbachweg – Hiking in Kalletal
After a good hour's drive, we arrive at the trailhead parking lot and see that this trail is certainly very popular, yet we have no trouble finding a parking space. Once we've dropped off all our gear (a few snacks and, as always, our camera equipment), we can begin our first steps on the approximately 11.5-kilometer hike. The trail leads through a small sculpture garden with a small but charming observation tower (actually, it's... Read more » Premium hiking trail: Canyon View in Lengerich
