The Altenau GPS trail is a circular trail with a length of approx. 3 kilometers.

The trail is primarily intended to appeal to young people and families with children.

Interesting information, short quizzes and other activities related to the topic of renaturation await at seven stations.

After three years of construction, the Altenau in the Husen-Dalheim area has been flowing as a river should again since 2017: winding and full of life.

The river has had to endure a lot in the past. The reason was the terrible flood in 1965, which burned itself into the memory of the inhabitants of the Paderborn region.

After this, the Altenau was dammed, its banks fortified and straightened. From Husen to its confluence with the Alme, it often resembled a canal rather than a river. The aim of the renaturation is to provide a home for fish and birds again.
