Ascent to the Velmerstot Summit

Highlight • Trail

A great, well walkable climb with a magnificent view from the so-called EGGETURM. Through various panels, the story is well explained - interesting photo opportunity.

Attention: Parking at the Externsteinen costs money - but 5 hours around the 3 Euro is reasonable.

The (or: the) Velmerstot is the northernmost and highest mountain of the Eggegebirge in North Rhine-Westphalia. It has the two peaks Prussian Velmerstot (South Summit, about 464 m above sea level NHN [1]), the peak of which rises in the area of Steinheim-Sandebeck in the district Höxter, and the Lippische Velmerstot (♁⊙; Nordkuppe, 441.4 m [1]), which is located in the district of Horn-Bad Meinberg in the district of Lippe. The entire mountain belongs to the nature park Teutoburger Wald / Eggegebirge. On the Prussian Velmerstot is the Eggeturm (observation tower); on the Lippe Velmerstot with heathland are rugged sandstone rocks.

Silberbach Stream in Silberbachtal

Highlight • River

August 2025 – the Silberbach stream is barely recognizable anymore. If you're out with dogs and think you'll find the water here, you're in luck! Everything's overgrown and barely accessible! Perhaps it would be a good idea to organize the comments by year! The pictures shown here don't fit at all!

Silberbach Ford

Highlight • River

Here a path at the intersection runs directly through the Silberbach. But you can continue to stay on one side as the road forks there.

Hotel-Restaurant Silbermühle by the pond

Highlight • Restaurant

Here it is really nice - a secret is the area but not. That's why it can be really busy at the weekend in good weather. But: the way is well known the goal. And beautiful paths, or trails, are here without end. Apropos: Here is the end of TransTeuto. If you did that, you are certainly exhausted and want to go home quickly. The best way to do that without a car is to drive three kilometers to Leopoldstal (it's just downhill). Here you have train connection to Paderborn and from there you are pretty much everywhere. If the trip home is not so urgent, the stop in the beautifully located restaurant Silbermühle worth.

Beautiful in August and September when the heather is in bloom. Wonderful, rooted paths run through the middle.

Externsteine

Highlight • Natural Monument

One of the highlights on the Hermannsweg through the Teutoburg Forest is definitely the imposing Externsteine. They are among the most important natural and cultural monuments in the entire Teutoburg Forest. But myths and legends also haunt the Externsteine. If you are not afraid of heights, you can also climb the five rocks and enjoy a wide panoramic view.
