Bielstein Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

A visit to the Bielstein Gorge is definitely worthwhile. It's truly impressive for this landscape.

Hike No. 4: From Bauerkamp to Eggeberg, Bielsteinschlucht, Lukenloch and Hohlsteinhöhle, from the book: The most beautiful half-day hikes in the Paderborn region and Eggegebirge (K. H. Schäfer & G. Kaiser, 2017)

This very varied circular route leads to significant geological phenomena and offers great views from the edge of the Eggegebirge into the Westphalian Bay. 🤩
Not far from …

More or less spontaneously, this tour emerged from a lack of inspiration, simply by tapping my finger on the map 😉 From moorland to caves and gorges. 🏞

First, I explored Lukenloch and Bielsteinhöhle (or rather, gorge). A truly impressive, albeit fragile, formation. I didn't visit Kellerloch; there are many fallen trees blocking the way, and one shouldn't stray from …

Today we hiked through the Egge Mountains. Starting at the Bauerkamp hiking car park.
We always followed the signs for the HW Cave Trail. The circular trail is well signposted and offers many highlights.
It goes through the impressive Bielstein Gorge and its cave. (Definitely don't miss the detour.) The cave is also accessible from May to August. If you …

Great weather today. Pure sunshine and frosty air.
The cave trail is a beautiful circular hike on forest paths and trails through a beautiful beech forest. It did me good.

Actually, significant geological phenomena and great views are the outstanding features of this hike on the eastern edge of the Paderborn plateau. Due to the current weather conditions, it turned out to be a beautiful snow hike in the fog. It was fun, that was the main thing! We don't have snow conditions like this very often anymore.

Today I had actually planned a completely different hike, but because of the heavy rain forecast I spontaneously changed my plans. What can I say
"I did everything right".
Not a drop of rain, not a single soul on the way. Very muddy, slippery paths. To my right is the abyss into the depths 🤣 🙈.
Absolute silence in the …
