Railway Tunnel in Teutoburg Forest Nature Park

Highlight • Structure

The tunnel is a good 100 metres long and its length and design make it a brilliant attraction. If you come when the sun is shining, you can also enjoy a pleasant cooling down.

Dune Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

The Small Viaduct is only the "second most impressive" because its big brother, the Altenbeken Viaduct, is just six kilometers away and is twice as long. But even the "small" …

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 …

About 5 years ago I did exactly the same tour. Back then with a very special person by my side. Today it was time to reminisce and with every KM think of beautiful and unforgettable moments 🍀.

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 early Wandervogel also starts on Sunday mornings at eight o'clock...😴

Today it was the turn of the Paderborner Höhenweg. It started at the official starting point in Neuenbeken at the mission house.
The forest trail was uphill for the first time, but very moderate. In general, the way surprised me in this respect. The climbs looked so rough in …

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 …
