Walking with a view, vision and insight
A walking trail with many facets - the BlickWinkel theme trail takes you through the charming districts of the Easter wheel town of Lügde. You hike along natural paths and enjoy magnificent views over the Lipper Bergland.
Cozy benches and landscape loungers invite you to take a break again and again, while you learn mystical stories, interesting facts about natural features or historical events on the lovingly designed bench backs. Did you know, for example, that the small river Niese is home to the kingfisher and the black stork or that there is an old apple variety named after the village of Biesterfeld? The history of the old Paenbruch brickworks, which shaped the economic life of the surrounding villages for many decades, is also fascinating.
A special highlight awaits you on the section of the trail between Elbrinxen and Rischenau. There you will find the nature book, an outdoor book with stories and poetry about nature. Sometimes humorous, sometimes thought-provoking or atmospheric: the book is full of nature poems and stories, compiled by nature lovers from the region.
The total length of the trail is around 36 km. However, it can also be hiked in several sections. Five different routes, named from B1 to B5, have been created for this purpose.

Directions
B1: Lace up your hiking boots and explore the villages of Elbrinxen, Sabbenhausen and Wörderfeld on the scenic 15 km route B1. Walk past the 1,000-year-old lime tree and the stork station along the Wörmke to Sabbenhausen. After a short section through the forest, you reach the tranquil village of Wörderfeld. Relax on the landscape lounger and then walk back to Elbrinxen on natural hiking trails.
B2: The northern section of route B1 is identical to route B2. On this 10 km circular route, the path follows the Ilsenbach stream and then leads through the forest to the village of Henkenbrink on the Klosterberg, one of the smallest villages in the south-east of Lippe. From there, you follow the edge of the forest and through the valley of the Hammelbach stream to Rischenau. A stop at the nature book is an absolute must on this route.
B3: Route B3 is a real insider tip - on around 5 kilometers you will discover the historic village of Falkenhagen and the old ponds of the monastery. You should definitely plan a visit to the monastery complex.
B4: A popular starting point for the 7.4-kilometre B4 route is the park in Rischenau. The route then takes you through meadows and fields towards Falkenhagen. You walk along the so-called Hammelwiese meadow and then enter the dense forest below the Köterberg. Shortly before Niese, turn right onto the Scharpenberg and then downhill to the historic village of Bieterfeld, where the Counts of Lippe-Biesterfeld once lived. Hike back to the starting point above the village or take advantage of one of the many opportunities for a leisurely stop after the hike.
B5: Go on a discovery tour and hike along the southern route B5 to the village of Niese at the foot of the Köterberg. The route is around 4 km long and offers wonderful views of the valley of the small river of the same name. Numerous benches and a cozy landscape lounger invite you to enjoy the view again and again
