Denkmal-Route Herford

From the train station, the route heads south along the city's old ramparts. After crossing the River Aa, the route turns right through the Aawiesenpark and leads to the cemeteries. The route then continues north along Friedhofstraße towards the town center, crossing the parking lot on the right-hand side to reach the old ramparts again and past the Haus unter den Linden until it reaches the Werre. There the route turns right and crosses the next bridge to the other side of the Werre. Once you reach Salzuflerstraße, you will find Parkstraße on the other side of the road about 50 meters further on the right, where you will find the route's one notable ascent. This leads past the Hochschule für Kirchenmusik and behind it on the right-hand side is the Langenberg. Through this park, you reach Stadtholzstraße, where the route continues to the left and at Vlothoerstraße it also continues to the left. Between the elementary school and the church, the route leads down the hill, turning right again over the Luttenberg about 20 meters after the church. After the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie (Northwest German Philharmonic Orchestra), the route continues downhill for approx. 100 meters into Visionstraße on the right-hand side. At the end of Visionsstraße, the route turns left along Gartenstraße to the municipal theater. At Mindener Straße, the route continues on the other side of the road towards Werre and the city center. After the bridge over the Werre, the route continues to the right along the old ramparts. At the next bridge over the Werre, the route turns left and crosses Berlinerstrasse. It then goes around St. Johanniskirche church and into the small alley opposite the bicycle shelter. You come out at Linnenbauerplatz. After crossing this square, the route continues to the right and then turns right again behind Herford Minster. After crossing Berlinerstrasse again, you reach Arndstrasse. At the traffic circle at the Elsbachhaus, the route continues to the right past the MARTa Museum and behind it to the left. Now just follow the railroad line to the left as far as the station and you have reached the starting point.
