The route leads through the entire Stemweder Berg.

The Stemweder Berg is located in the south-east of the Dümmer Nature Park. At 181 meters above sea level, it is the last elevation before the North German Plain. To the south is the park-like cultural landscape of the municipality of Stemwede. To the east of Lake Dümmer is the Oppenweher Moor. The Stemweder Berg consists of limestone from the Younger Cretaceous period. This soft limestone contains imprints of shells, but also whole shells. Various fossils are on display in the Dümmer Museum in Lembruch.

The forest consists mainly of beech trees. There are two large stands of the extremely rare woodruff beech forest here. Various historical boundary stones can be discovered in Stemweder Berg. As a result of the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Minden and the area south of the Stemweder Berg became part of Brandenburg (Prussia). High-trunk orchards on the edge of the Stemweder Berg provide a habitat for dormice, little owls and various species of bat. Water seeps away quickly in the glacial dry valleys of the Stemweder Berg. There are only shallow ponds in small areas. In addition to native game such as roe deer, hare, pheasant and fox, the great spotted woodpecker and black woodpecker can also be found. Cowslip, arum, lily of the valley, native orchids and woodruff are also present. This extensive forest area is accessible via well-developed and marked hiking trails of varying lengths, each of which starts at a hiking parking lot. The overview posts and the hiking map provide information and help with orientation. All routes are also suitable for walking or jogging.
