The radius must be gradually increased, so into the Stadtoldendorf corner to enter the stamp, now WS 12 "Amelungsborn Monastery" of the Wild Homeland, walking on the "Monastery Tour" (St 1 and St 2).

The Hooptal and the Amelungsborn Monastery offer a perfect combination of nature, history and outdoor adventure! Climbing in the old quarries, looking for salamanders (unfortunately we didn't see any, but the conditions are perfect here), lingering at the mill pond or visiting the monastery make this tour very attractive.

Please do not hike the exact route! It is better to follow the signposted "Monastery Tour", these paths are well maintained. I had to struggle through a blackberry area.
