I really liked this avenue. Not only the beautiful bike path, but also the play of light in the trees. 😊

It's simply wonderful to experience the Lippe River up close and cycle right along it. The landscape is largely unspoiled, and you can observe numerous birds.

View of the Glenne

Highlight • River

The Glenne, called Haustenbach in its upper and middle reaches, is a 45.5 km long, right tributary of the Lippe in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, which rises in the Senne and runs parallel to the Lippe in the south and the Ems in the north for long stretches . It is one of the few bodies of water created in the Senne that leaves the East Westphalia-Lippe region in its course.

View of Hovestadt Castle

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle Hovestadt is very centrally located directly on the main street in the city. It has a very nice big garden and a nice big forecourt with some animals and small houses. Really nice and private with a very idyllic appearance. Great photo motif with a very idyllic moat. There is also the Lippe with a stork's nest and an overview map of the Auenland route. The connection to the neighboring community Lippetal is only about 1km away. Really worth it.

My husband got this route from the Internet. Was very pleasant to cycle. Lots of landscape, little city. Back for coffee on time.

First bike ride 🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♀️at home after a wonderful vacation😊
It's really beautiful here too 🤩and there are roadblocks here like in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤣😅🤣 Well, and then we had to check if the sushi 🍣 restaurant in Lippstadt still exists😅😋

On an autumnal day in August 😢 from Lippstadt through the city and on to the Abbey in Liesborn. On well paved dirt roads we went to Herzfeld and Hovestadt, with the castle 🏰.
Through the beautiful Lippeauen with the aurochs, exact designation Heck cattle, we went back to Lippstadt.
Because of the cool temperature and the lack of options …

We started from Liesborn and saved the stretch to downtown Lippstadt.

Hello to the Komoot community.

What more can I say?

Today we went to the first bigger trip of the year. We had found this route here at Komoot in a collection and adopted it almost 1 to one.

The Kesseler Mühle was exactly half-time and we had a piece of cake in the neighboring "Saloon". We then went back …

July 19, 2024,Lippstadt -Herzfeld
From Lippstadt along the Lippe meadows towards Herzfeld! The forest paths before Hovestadt were very muddy, so we sometimes had to push! We went back to the starting point via field paths! The altitude is of course not correct🤔

Miss Kind was at her grandma's and her better half wanted a bike ride.
I was there straight away. The destination was quickly decided: Cafe Twin in Herzfeld. The cake is simply super delicious and anyone who cycles there deserves a piece. The weather forecast was rather mediocre, but we were confident that we would just be a bit faster …
