ヘーフェルホーフの絶景の山頂・トップ3

Quite challenging. Not for beginners :-)

At 446 meters, the Barnacken is the highest peak in the Teutoburg Forest. It lies inconspicuously in a beautiful forest, about 150 meters from the trail.

The Teutoburg Forest transmitter - popularly known as the "Bielstein transmitter" - belongs to the WDR and is located on the Bielstein mountain, 393 m above sea level. After two years of construction, a 298 m high tubular steel mast was put into operation in 1970. On January 15, 1985, ice and gusty winds tore a sleeve and the transmitter fell over. It was then replaced in 1986 by a 302 m high, guyed steel truss mast.

... because it is the highest mountain in the Teutoburg Forest, as a Lippe hiker you have to have climbed it ... too bad there is no summit cross.

The Barnacken is the highest elevation in the Teutoburg Forest, at 446.4 meters above sea level. There isn't much to see there – the flat summit is dominated by a type of raised bog, which is quite muddy, especially after rain. Trees currently obstruct the view in all directions, so there's no panoramic vista.

The best way to hike from Hiddesen is via the Residenzweg, then you only have a few hundred meters of asphalt just before the transmitter. The descent towards the south then goes along a gravel forest path. Of course, it's better to ride a bike over the asphalt access to the transmission tower. You can reach it from Heidentalstrasse (also in Hiddesen).

A great climb to the Tönsberg

there you can let the bike run nicely
