The Lemgoer Landwehr is a historical natural monument that served to protect the citizens in the Middle Ages. The ramparts were planted and were laid out in the 13th century.

You can start the hike at the edge of the forest at the end of the Spiegelberg. We turn right into the forest and follow the "L" to Lüningheide (forest cemetery). The path then leads down into the Bornsiektal valley with the fish ponds. We walk towards the B66, cross the road and reach the Rieperturmhof. (There used to be a watchtower here). We walk down to Papiernbentrup, cross the railroad tracks, then the Bega and the Wienkemeier farm. Continuing along the "L", we reach a grassy path that leads us up the Wiembecker Berg via Maßbruch. Through the high forest, we pass the Fahrenbreite farm, cross Residenzstraße and follow Panzerstraße up to Biesterberg. At the top, we turn left and then right again via Schliepenheide to Hof Korf. In front of the stable building, we turn right into the forest. The Laubker stream accompanies us on the left until we reach the Laubker Meier farm (there are fish ponds on the right and left)...
