Teuto loop Holperdorper - Hermannshöhen tour tip 06

A wonderful hiking experience full of contrasts: leisurely nature trails through old beech forests and multi-trunk coppice forests, paths and hollow trails in the light shade of the Teutoburg Forest, climbs on the "balcony of the Münsterland" with wonderful views of the flat Münsterland parkland and the rolling hills in the neighboring Osnabrücker Land. Nature shows its diversity with springs and babbling brooks and even a small waterfall. Striking rock formations such as the "Duvensteine" and the so-called "Grafentafel" show the natural beauty of large stones.

These ancient cult sites still cast a mystical spell over many hikers today. So visitors will certainly not regret the short detour to the legendary Grafentafel.

The trail leads through the Holperdorper Valley - known for its lush cherry blossom - and then up to the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest. Here, the Hermannsweg trail leads past the Waldwirtschaft Malepartus, probably the most northerly snack station with an original alpine ambience.

At the end, it is worth visiting the town center of Lienen, about 1 km away. Here, visitors to the lovingly restored town center will find half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets as well as a treat for the feet: the Lienen barefoot park with its approx. 2.5 km long circular path and a large water playground for children.
