    Tips

    April 30, 2018

    A great, well walkable climb with a magnificent view from the so-called EGGETURM. Through various panels, the story is well explained - interesting photo opportunity.

    Attention: Parking at the Externsteinen costs money - but 5 hours around the 3 Euro is reasonable.

    The (or: the) Velmerstot is the northernmost and highest mountain of the Eggegebirge in North Rhine-Westphalia. It has the two peaks Prussian Velmerstot (South Summit, about 464 m above sea level NHN [1]), the peak of which rises in the area of ​​Steinheim-Sandebeck in the district Höxter, and the Lippische Velmerstot (♁⊙; Nordkuppe, 441.4 m [1]), which is located in the district of Horn-Bad Meinberg in the district of Lippe. The entire mountain belongs to the nature park Teutoburger Wald / Eggegebirge. On the Prussian Velmerstot is the Eggeturm (observation tower); on the Lippe Velmerstot with heathland are rugged sandstone rocks.

      The ascent to the Velmerstot is depending on where you come from - a really steep thing :)
