The Josef-Schmitz-Weg (JSW), which is marked with a horizontal white bar and is a good 18 kilometers long, was named after the local history and Eggegebirgsverein friend Prof. Dr. Josef Schmitz (+2000). The trail leads through very different landscapes: Initially through magnificent beech forest, then across the wide Paderborn plateau and finally through the "Krumme Grund" and the Lieth valley to Paderborn city center. It runs partly on unpaved forest paths and narrow trails, but longer stretches are also on asphalt. Sturdy shoes, preferably hiking boots, are therefore the best choice, and you should also bring food and drink
