A little birthday walk on the Paderborner Höhenweg in the most beautiful weather! ☀️😍🥾 This really great quality hiking trail leads over the highest point in Paderborn, along the Altenbeken viaduct, through wonderfully shady beech forests and past beautiful views! You actually hardly notice the 460 meters of elevation on the entire route and yet there are plenty of benches for breaks! 🥰 Unfortunately, and this is something we have to criticize about the official hiking trail, the signage is very misleading in some places. You can find countless versions and options online, so anyone who has already done the tour will end up with different distances... 🤨 Supposedly it is around 21.5 km. It was only after 30 minutes that we realized that we had a completely different starting point than recommended... That's why our start and end are not officially part of the Paderborner Höhenweg - and that's how we came up with our almost 23 km! ☝🏼 Actually pretty cool: You can collect eight letter and number combinations while walking, so you can get a certificate and a pin for the route. However, unlike the normal hiking trail signs, these rating signs are only placed in one direction, namely clockwise. Too bad, we only discovered two and that by chance.. 🙂↔️ Still, all in all a really successful tour! ✊🏼☺️

Phew... but now I'm done too 🥵 This morning I was still thinking about whether I should do the tour at all, my knee probably found it too exhausting yesterday 🙈 Luckily, walking was fine, only going up and down steeply was a bit painful. The tour was a dream 😍 Many great views, green and blooming meadows, yellow rapeseed fields and lots of forest 😃
After the much too long hibernation, we finally went on a little hike again today. Since I wanted at least a few meters of altitude, I chose the Paderborner Höhenweg. A very good choice, as it turned out. It really took me the first 3 kilometers to get going again, but then I ran like clockwork ;-) The path was really great, a lot of pleasant forest paths to walk (well, due to the weather there was a lot of muddy goo, but that doesn't matter). Lots of great views and some highlights, like the tree house, the two-legged beech and of course the small viaduct. On the way there were also "hair ice" to be discovered in some places, I had never seen that before and had to find out what it was first. The climbs were all moderate and easy to walk, as were the descents. Part of the way also goes over the viaduct trail, which is also beautiful. An all-round successful "reintegration hike" in the best weather.
The classic on a wonderful Sunday in October!
The "Paderborner Höhenweg" has been on my list for a long time! 😊🤗 Finally done, but the path itself is rather unspectacular for me apart from a few passages... 😉 Instead, a bright blue sky, bright autumn leaves and a little snow cap as the icing on the cake!!! 😍😃 Simply beautiful! ☺️
The Paderborn Höhenweg meanders through beech and spruce forests, past cattle pastures and up to beautiful viewpoints. Most of the time it is on pleasantly walkable forest paths, only rarely on asphalt. The Höhenweg is rightly certified as a "Quality Trail for Hikers in Germany". Tour Info: https://www.paderborn.de/sport-freizeit/aktiv-freizeit/paderborner-hoehenweg.php The signs for the scoring sheet can only be found if you walk the tour clockwise. Unless you turn around often ..... https://www.paderborn.de/sport-freizeit/aktiv-freizeit/paderborner-hoehenweg.php.media/180171/Wertungsbogen-PHW_Urkunde.pdf
Tuesday is known as team day 😍 As the weather looked like it would be snowy, slippery and freezing cold, we met up again to go hiking. This time, equipped with headlamps and SOMEWHAT warm clothing, we went to the Paderborn Höhenweg. Not easy with some of the paths as slippery as glass, but we did it 😁 A good mood and great entertainment once again contributed to a lovely evening. It was really nice 🤗
