Behind the parking lot there is a rustic shelter and several benches with tables. There are also RV sites in the parking lot! A short path leads to the Wiehenturm tower.

This forest path leads between tall trees, their leaves shimmering in the light. The ground is covered with moss and leaves, and small branches crack underfoot with every step.

Very varied circular hiking trail. For the most part, the path runs right along the edge of the forest. Many meters of the route also run over paved roads and dirt roads. You will be rewarded with great panoramic views. Highly recommended! :)

Proven, but never run at 32 degrees 😄

The nearly 13km circular hike is marked with a black "E" on a yellow background and leads around the Eggetal, the only longitudinal valley in the Wiehen Hills. Mostly along the forest edge or quiet roads, you'll often enjoy wonderful views. Especially from the Wiehen Tower, on clear days, you can see as far as the Teutoburg Forest and the …

Those following us should definitely look out for the "Eggetalweg" sign, which we missed once, and we also used an older Komoot path that was blocked by a storm with trees criss-crossing. There are signs for Weichstrecke, which we noticed too late. Otherwise, the …

The Eggetal Valley, with its districts of Börninghausen, Büscherheide, and Einighausen, is called the "Jewel of the Lübbecke Region." It is also the only longitudinal valley in the Wiehen Hills.

If you climb the 29.5-meter-high Wiehen Tower (125 steps) from the viewing platform, you'll have an impressive view of the North German Plain.

With the weather getting better, this is a truly beautiful circular hike along the Eggetal Panorama Trail, also known as the "Jewel of the Lübbecke Region" 🌞🌻 Nestled between the Egge and Wiehen Hills are small villages, countless fields, and dense forests. The Wiehen Tower offers sweeping views of the countryside. You can stop for a bite at the Limberg …
