The viewing point is not really noticeable as you can only get there from the canal, but if you go all the way to the top you have a great view of the Lippe.

A beautiful hike through the Lippe floodplains and Oberwerries Castle and Heessen Castle. You should do the tour during the week, however, as it is likely to be very busy at the weekend, with both hikers and cyclists.

Beautiful hike along the canal and the Lippe. There are 2 observation towers, the first of which is unfortunately closed at the moment.
The start is at 🅿️ Oberwerries Castle and from there we made a detour to the Lupia Lippe ferry, my highlight ⛓️💪🏻.

I didn't like the track very much. Many stretches of the way were severely damaged by the riders. As a flat hike to practice, it was good.

WDR reported on it and we were there! There were no storks in the nests, but they were everywhere in the adjacent meadows. The crowning glory were the many cockchafers on the Adenauer Alkee. Unfortunately they are often run over by cyclists because they cannot fly because of the cold. Global warming has also hit them hard...
