ヘルフォルトの峡谷・トップ4

A nice place to linger along the route.

The climb of torture. The best climb when you drive from Vlotho towards Bad Salzuflen. It's a joy!

Anyone who goes for a walk in the Doberg rarely gets their feet wet these days. Things were completely different 30 million years ago! At that time the North Sea still stretched here with a water depth of around 20 meters. Toothed whales and manatees lived in this shallow prehistoric sea. The most famous discovery was made by a worker in the marl pit: in 1912, he discovered the almost completely preserved skeleton of a manatee. The Doberg manatee is actually the earliest known ancestor of today's manatee manatees. Even apart from this important discovery, the Doberg is a fascinating natural spectacle. However, some unofficial paths are now blocked with chains or fences due to nature conservation. The main path and the paths around the forest offer enough insights.

Coming from Exter, it's also a fairly steep descent. The path is more of a small gorge. If there are many pedestrians on the way, it is advisable to get off, as there is actually no alternative.

Somewhat obscure place in the last curve before the mill coming from Spenge.

A relatively steep and beautiful forest path. Cyclists are advised to dismount better.

A beautiful and well-paved side road leads through this marked highlight without a lot of traffic. At its lowest point, you also cross the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. Coming from the west you first have a beautiful view over the landscape towards the south and can relax and roll into the small valley. There is gravel in the tight bends, so you shouldn't climb through there too quickly.

Somewhat bizarre and quite noticeable rock formation. Very nice corner.
