The Hörste Nordic walking route is one of three planned Nordic walking routes in Lage and is very challenging with a length of more than 12 km and some inclines. The Hörste route is part of the Lippe Nordic Walking Park, to which five towns and municipalities in Lippe have joined forces.

"The Romans are coming!" - That's what the people of Lippe say in remembrance of old times when they see a group of Nordic walkers marching through the Teutoburg Forest again.

After Dörentrup, Horn-Bad Meinberg, Extertal and Detmold, the town of Lage opened the fifth Lippe Nordic walking center in Hörste in 2008, completing the five centers. The German Ski Association has certified a total of 19 routes with a total distance of 143 km in the five centers. All routes are homologated according to sports science criteria, graded by different levels of difficulty and signposted with signposts and information boards, so that athletes receive assistance, for example on the correct cross-country skiing technique.
