Grenzstein-Weg

The hike begins at the hiking rest area in Büren-Ringelstein. This is also where the red rail bus of the Waldbahn Almetal e.V. first takes you through the dense forests of the Ringelstein Forest to the customs post, the former border between the Duchy of Westphalia and the Hochstift Paderborn. The route continues along many old fortification stones to the Dreiländereck and over the Johanneseiche to the Rüthener Blick vantage point. From there, you walk along the Wermeke stream into the small village of Siddinghausen, which is over 1200 years old, and down into the Almetal valley. You soon return to Ringelstein, where the castle ruins of the same name on the other side of the valley are well worth a visit. You can visit and explore the stone remains of the castle, which was built around 1200 as a hunting lodge.
