... really great route through the Teutoburg Forest towards “Hermannshöhen”!!!

Unfortunately, parts of this hiking trail were no longer a hiking trail, but were so blocked by fallen tree trunks and overgrown with nettles that I actually considered turning back.

If you are traveling with your dog, you should drive to the park in Schildesche. There are beautiful rivers where your four-legged friend can cool off.

in the morning at sunrise, a dream. In addition, light fog over the water

Highly recommended for sunrise

The weir for the Johannisbach has seen better days, but the view of the two branches of the Johannisbach is very nice from here! The 26 km long river rises in the Teutoburg Forest and then flows into the Werre under the name Aa in Herford. On this section it also forms the boundary between Jöllenbeck and Schildesche.

High up along the ridge path, the landscape changes from typical deciduous forest to beautiful heathland: Enjoy one of the last natural occurrences of fragrant juniper heath here.

The local juniper plants used to be the basis of the world-famous schnapps production in Steinhagen. Today there is only a small remnant on the ridge path of the Teutoburg Forest. In Steinhagen there are still numerous field names (including Deterts Heide, Hasenheide, Voßheide), which are reminiscent of the poor sandy soil and the time when the juniper heaths almost reached the village. In general, the slopes of the Teutoburg Forest used to be completely heathed - heathland was still to be found along the Hermannsweg in the first half of the 20th century. The juniper is a cypress plant that is widespread in Europe and North America in many species. Special abilities were ascribed to juniper as early as Germanic mythology and medieval popular belief. It should offer protection against magic and evil spirits and drive away the plague. The "berries" contain a lot of sugar and have been used in a variety of ways for centuries, for example as a kitchen spice or in game dishes. Even if the beginnings of the juniper distillery in Steinhagen are in the dark, a drink made from juniper berries is said to have been produced in the area as early as the late Middle Ages. Based on the knowledge gained over the following centuries, the farmers then initially produced juniper brandy for their own use.
