The expression "harrow" is a general Low German term for elongated ridges or ridges; The linguistic counterpart is the "Siepen / Siefen / Seifen" (for the notch valleys accompanying the harrows). Until the 17th century, the Eggegebirge together with the northwestern Teutoburg Forest bore the name Osning.

The ridge path with a tower and beautiful paths and large heather areas ... always worth a trip, even in winter!
The ascent is a bit demanding for lowland Tyroleans ... but you can do it too :-)

Anyone who has made the climb to the Lippian or Prussian Velmerstot should definitely go the extra mile and visit the other. The path leads through the heath and is easy to walk on, ideal for families.
