Rainwater seeping onto the Paderborn plateau flushes out the finest soil particles. It is transported through the fissures and crevices in the limestone subsoil without being able to settle the soil particles and is then brought to the surface again in the Almetal. Here, the bubbling water comes to rest and deposits the fine soil material at the edge of the spring sponge funnel in a conical mantle. Three of the spring sponge cones that are easily recognizable at the site have funnel openings that form circular lakes during periods of high precipitation. One sponge cone has no opening.Apart from 2 small, constantly flowing springs near Büren and Nordborchen, there are only Quickspringe springs in the Alme valley. These springs are located in the Tudorf area on the southern side of the Alme and only pour large quantities of water during rainy periods.These natural features await visitors to the forest nature trail." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2784325/1c1bec90d3046618b2eca4266295be6bebf5c1dc14c8731c6d9162a99414e40d/waldlehrpfad-niederntudorf.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Teutoburg Forest > Experience nature > My day in nature > tour" --- GPX Share Niederntudorf forest nature trail ================================= - 8.19 km long - Round trip - Difficulty: easy - Condition: very easy - Great panorama - Themed trail Waldlehrpfad Niederntudorf Waldlehrpfad Brücke Niederntudorf Waldlehrpfad - 2:30 h - 8.19 km - 118 m - 118 m - 145 m - 222 m - 77 m - - Start: St. Matthäus Kirche Niederntudorf / Heimathaus "Spissen" in Niederntudorf - Destination: St. Matthäus Kirche Niederntudorf / Heimathaus "Spissen" in Niederntudorf The ecological forest nature trail leads along some geological features through the Niederntudorf forest.The forest area is located on the Paderborn plateau. This is part of the Westphalian Bay and the largest limestone and karst landscape in Westphalia. Covering an area of 652 hectares, the Tudorf Forest is part of a wooded area between the Sauerland and the Eggegebirge mountains, for which the beech is particularly characteristic.

Good to know ------------ Best to visit suitable Depends on weather - Jan - Feb - Mar - Apr - May - Jun - Jul - Aug - Sep - Oct - Nov - Dec Directions Die Rundwanderung führt im südöstlichen Ortsteil Niederntudorf der Sälzerstadt Salzkotten durch ein schönes Waldgebiet. Hier gibt es zahlreiche naturkundliche Sehenswürdigkeiten am Wegesrand zu bestaunen, die auf den vielen Informationstafeln des Waldlehrpfades beschrieben sind. Die Wanderung beginnt in Niederntudorf, dessen schöne Fachwerkhäuser und der große Findling in der Ortsmitte gleich auffallen. Nach einem Kilometer ist das Tal der Alme und die alte Eisenbahnbrücke erreicht. Besonders fällt dem Besucher das Flussbett der Alme auf, das in den Sommermonaten vollkommen trocken liegt, da das Gewässer sich einen unterirdischen Weg durch den Karst sucht. Der Weg führt weiter entlang der Alme zu kleinen Quellen, dem "Quickspring". Beim Abzweig "Burscheid" führt der Weg nun entlang des Waldlehrpfades und zunächst zum Niederntudorfer Steinbruch. Nach dem Rundweg endet die Wanderung schließlich wieder in der Dorfmitte von Niederntudorf.
