Exploring an old Westphalian border region

The hiking trail leads to historic boundary stones in the Ringelstein Forest. The sandstones, which are over 400 years old, document the eventful history of the various dominions. Even today, the districts of Paderborn, Soest and Hochsauerlandkreis still border each other here in the "border triangle".

In addition, this approx. 17.8 km long circular trail through the Ringelstein forest in Bürener Land offers you numerous sights, such as the Ringelstein castle ruins, the Almetal forest railroad or the youth forest home in Ringelstein.

Directions

The hike begins at the hiking rest area in Büren-Ringelstein. This is also where the red rail bus of the  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.
