The poacher's route follows the traces of the Silixen poachers and timber thieves who, 100 years ago, covered their meat and timber needs in a not entirely legal way by poaching and stealing timber in the surrounding forests. Silixen was considered a stronghold of these activities.

On over 20 information boards, interested hikers can learn a lot about local history: where the field names come from, for example, or where the Silixen people drew their drinking water. The path also leads past the "Königskiefer", the most magnificent example of its kind in the Lippe forest, trenches from the Second World War and centuries-old boundary stones. There is a lot to discover. Magnificent views complement the route. A short 300-meter detour to the Familienplatz, which offers very special views of the Kalletal, is highly recommended. The poacher's route has two routes. The small tour is 8 kilometers long, the long one is 13.2 kilometers long.
