It is signposted as "PB 3", i.e. "Paderborn Tour 3". The first six kilometers require athletic commitment: from the city centre to the Haxterberg airfield, there are around 130 metres of elevation gain to conquer. The descent into the Haxtergrund is then quite steep. The route then continues at a fairly leisurely pace to the end of the tour. The section along the Ellerbach stream via Hamborn Castle towards Borchen is idyllic. The Alme then accompanies the return route until shortly before Paderborn. The starting point at Maspernplatz is quickly reached again, passing the Westfriedhof cemetery and through Riemekepark.
