The climatic health resort of Lage-Hörste allows hikers and walkers to get to know a section of the Hermannsweg in a different way: 20 literary stations invite you to linger and convey lyrical thoughts on topics such as nature, the environment, etc. The texts are exchanged every two years.

Recommended by the OWL transport association as a route that is easy to reach by public transport!

2.5 km of the Hermann Trail are accompanied by lyrical thoughts: the poems were written by members of the two authors' groups "Garden of Poetry" and "LipPen" and are updated every two years. If there is interest, special literary walks along the Hermannsweg are also offered. This offer is extended with readings in the climatic health resort. Two reading stations have been set up as rest stops with boulders and stone blocks. These lingering stations invite walkers and hikers to sit down and reflect on what they have read.

A flyer provides an overview of where the reading and resting stations are located and which poems await walkers and hikers there. This flyer is available free of charge at the start and finish points, i.e. in the Bienen-Schmidt forest restaurant and in the Haus des Gastes.

This literary hiking trail also sees itself as an active contribution to environmental protection. Walkers and hikers who take this trail are encouraged by the route guidance to stay on the Hermannsweg and not to go cross-country through the forest on their own.
