One of the most beautiful high-altitude trails in Germany runs 226 kilometres (140 miles) along the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest and the Egge Mountains – the Hermann Heights Trail. If you don’t have time to walk it in one go but are drawn to landscapes of fragrant juniper heaths, sandy alpine meadows, bizarre rock formations and rusty-red springs, then this Collection is ideal for you. These 18 varied circular routes stretch the length of the entire Teutoburg Forest, bringing you close to the Hermann Heights. The day hikes reveal unique places that are hidden when following the long-distance trail and are a worthy extension of the original route.
The northernmost Tour guides you to historic buildings and squares in the town of Rheine. You also visit the artistically-designed Bentlage Landscape Park and the impressive salt works. On the southernmost Tour, you enjoy untouched nature, the picturesque Felsenmeer (rocky sea) and fuzzy bison. In between, you’ll find many unexpected gems on the 16 remaining Tours that explore the areas around Osnabrück, Bielefeld and Paderborn. Discover the habitats of the rare cross gentian ants on the Schmetterlingweg (butterfly way), marvel at the mighty railway viaduct near Altenbeken and enjoy the view from the historical Schwedenschanze ramparts or from a hammock near the town of Werther.
If you fancy a relaxed walk with a flair of adventure, then the short climb to the legendary Dörenther Cliffs, the Freedenblüte TERRA.track or the Pivitker Wasserweg (Pivitker Waterway) with its numerous streams and springs are perfect for you. If you want to really push yourself, tackle the 30-kilometre (18.6 mile) eastern loop of the Weg für Genießer (path for gourmets) to the Hengeberg peak.
All of the Tours offer parking at the starting point and since they are all circular, you don't have to worry about returning to your car at the end. Many routes are also easy to reach by bus or train.
