The natural heritage trail in the Durbeke is part of the natural heritage hiking world near Altenbeken and runs for 7.2 km around the Kobbennacken beech forest.

The natural heritage trail starts and ends at the Durbeke forest house. From Altenbeken train station, a bus will take you directly to the starting point of your hike (Forsthaus Durbeke bus stop). Of course, there is also a hiking parking lot nearby.

At Waldhaus Durbeke, first cross the bridge and then follow the path along the edge of the forest for about one kilometer. The trail then climbs steeply to the right into the forest around the Kleiner Kobbennacken and after around 3.5 kilometers you have reached the highest point of your hiking tour at 368 m. Around two thirds of the trees here are more than 120 years old. From the Burenlinde, the trail leads you around the Vorderer Kobbennacken back to the starting point.
