After the shortest river in Germany - the Pader - flows into the longest river in North Rhine-Westphalia - the Lippe - a few hundred meters before the castle, the Alme joins here, the river that rises at the Paderborn district boundary and ends in the district town .
Remarkably, the alpine pasture very often carries more water than the Lippe, and yet the river is still called the Lippe.
Only a narrow path leads between the two renatured rivers to this point, which invites you to linger and take a deep breath. As a runner, you have to bite the sour apple and walk back a bit, which you don't like doing as a runner, but the view of the (now) untouched nature is worth it. If you take your time, you can sit on the shore stones in summer and cool your hot feet for a moment.
