Wild herbs, forest fruits and water buffalo: on the Kulturland Genuss tour "Wild Westphalia", you will encounter the untamed side of the Kulturland district of Höxter. Between the small towns of Steinheim, Nieheim and Marienmünster, this route stalks regional products from hunting, forestry and sustainable agriculture with relish.
You will find wild boar burgers and saddle of venison on the menus of the local restaurants and fresh bread, pepper bites and fruit spreads complete the picnic. Not forgetting the delicacies from the cheese town of Nieheim! The typical "Nieheimer Käse" - a low-fat, high-protein sour milk cheese - is now protected by the EU with a geographical indication. Quite tempting to try out some wild flavor combinations with this variety...!

Scenic variety also awaits you on the 51 kilometers: It goes right through the Steinheimer Börde, past orchards and fields, through gentle valleys and real villages. Whether cycling past berry patches, buffalo herds and hemp fields or taking your first bite of a hearty snack: the Westphalian wilderness is definitely worth exploring.
