The stage from the Iburg ruins to Willebadessen takes you into the picturesque forests of the Egge and promises an unforgettable experience of nature. Away from civilization and everyday stress, you can enjoy nature in its original form on this stage, provided it has not fallen victim to the bark beetle plague.

The stage at a glance:

1.            Start and finish point of the stage
The stage starts at the Iburg ruins above Bad Driburg and ends in the center of Willebadessen.

2.            Length of the stage in kilometers / elevation gain / route character
The stage is around 16 kilometers long and has a moderate ascent. The route leads mostly through wooded areas and is characterized by narrow paths and rooted trails. There are around 230 meters of elevation gain to overcome on this stage.

3.            Scenic features
You will cross wooded areas on this stage, some of which are undergoing reforestation. At numerous points, you can enjoy views far into the surrounding area over the regrowing greenery. A fabulously beautiful forest awaits you at the Teufelsküche along rooted paths. Here you hike along a precipice edge, which is partly secured with fences.

Break tip: Shortly before the end of the hiking stage, the Lichtenauer Kreuz offers an opportunity to take a break.

Highlights on the route

The Iburg on a rocky outcrop with an impressive ruin of a former Saxon folk castle and the Kaiser-Karls-Turm, which offers a beautiful view of the spa town of Bad Driburg.

The mighty church Eggedom of the former Neuenheerse Abbey is an impressive sight. The collegiate church has one of the oldest and most valuable relic treasures as well as the oldest bishop's seal imprint in Germany. The nearby water castle is also worth a visit.
The former Benedictine convent of Willebadessen is an impressive building with convent buildings and a Romanesque church. It is worth visiting the grounds here.
