Beautiful circular tour on the north side of the Wiehengebirge. The R13 circular cycle route can be individually combined with the other circular cycle routes for an all-day excursion!

The route takes you through the spa town of Bad Holzhausen and the climatic health resorts of Börninghausen and Rödinghausen. A highlight of the tour is the castle ruins on the Limberg, which date back to the 13th century. The Eggetal valley in Börninghausen, which is almost completely surrounded by wooded hills, offers wonderful views and beautiful scenery on the tour. With the districts of Börninghausen, Büscherheide and Eininghausen, the Eggetal is rightly known as the "jewel of the Lübbecker Land". The historic spa gardens in Bad Holzhausen invite you to take a pleasant stroll. Here you will also find the Haus des Gastes, a former manor house, which today serves as a meeting place with tourist information, tourist office, history room and much more. At the height of the large Kellenberg, the path leads past the "Green Lake", which has a small waterfall and is a great place to take a break.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

The castle ruins on the Limberg, which date back to the 13th century, are located along the way. The tower, keep, some surrounding walls and the remains of the gatehouse are all that remain of the entire structure.
