マルスベルクでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

とても美しい景色。

A beautiful site with information about mining and geology in the Diemel Valley. Ideal for a break while hiking or cycling on the Diemel Cycle Path. A visit is especially worthwhile during the Giershagen Charcoal Burners' Week.

From here you can see far over the surrounding area

On its way, it flows through the Diemelsee reservoir and passes the towns of Marsberg, Warburg and Trendelburg before flowing into the Weser on the left bank near Bad Karlshafen.

Helminghausen is a small, cozy village nestled in the heart of the Diemelsee Nature Park. Here, on the border between Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia, the Hochsauerland region, with its wooded hills, meets the Waldeck Upland, with the tourist hotspot of Willingen just a few minutes away by car. From the village center, it's only 500 meters to Lake Diemelsee, with its diverse tourist attractions throughout the year. In Helminghausen, you can hike on premium hiking trails, cycle on signposted routes, swim in Lake Diemelsee, or simply relax. You can participate in village festivals and even become a king. Helminghausen is the only village in the Sauerland region to offer its own bird shooting competition for guests during the Schützenfest (Marksmen's Festival). Visit us and enjoy our hospitality in inns, guesthouses, and hotels in the village or directly on Lake Diemelsee. Source: https://helminghausen.net/

View along the Diemel River, winding through the valleys, toward Padberg. There's the village and the conical mountain of the same name (517 m) with the castle ruins to the right.

What's interesting about the Itter, the Diemel's tributary, is that it is 3.1 km longer up to its confluence with Lake Diemel than the Diemel itself up to its inflow into the reservoir (19.3 km compared to 16.2 km) and also has a 9.33 km² larger catchment area (48,294 km² compared to 38,964 km²). Therefore, strictly speaking, the Itter, historically a tributary, should be considered at least an equal source of the Diemel. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itter_(Diemel)

The 18.7-hectare "Diemelsee" nature reserve was designated at the tributary of the Itter River at Diemelsee. It exhibits the characteristics of a natural river valley, as the constant alternation of floods and dry spells provides ideal living and breeding conditions, especially for waterfowl. Coots and mallards are regularly found here, occasionally moorhens and tufted ducks, and in winter, the impressive goosander. The Diemelsee nature reserve is particularly important as a breeding ground for the great crested grebe. In 2007, there were eleven breeding pairs here, the number of which fluctuates depending on the water level. The common sandpiper, a wading bird, is one of the rarest and only occasionally seen breeding birds in the Diemelsee Nature Park. This starling-sized bird can be recognized by its pebble-colored upper and white undersides, as well as its characteristic white "shoulders." Its tail constantly bobs. Its habitat is near-natural rivers, where it breeds on sparsely vegetated gravel banks. Ornithologists have repeatedly identified lesser spotted woodpecker territories in the willow thickets. A small grey heron colony outside the protected area enriches the birdlife of Lake Diemelsee. Kingfishers, black kites, and even the rare black stork feed here. Ospreys can regularly be seen during migration in spring and autumn. Source: https://www.sauerland.com/de/neusta-pois/naturschutzgebiet-diemelsee
