- Start: Hikers' parking spaces on the road "Unter der Howe"
- Destination: Circular hiking trail Starting point = destination
Simply switch off for a while and take a deep breath! This circular trail offers beautiful views in all directions. With a refreshing break at the water treading pool at Schnaken Karlchen, the starting point is reached again after approx. 2 1/2 hours. The trail starts at the old vicarage. There are two wonderful natural monuments here, the parish lime tree and an old ash tree. The old village well is a reminder of the time without a central water supply in Oerlinghausen. The rest of the hike offers wonderful views to the south towards Paderborner Land and Sauerland. You walk through the beautiful mixed forest past the water treading basin, where the Sachsenquelle spring rises on the southern slope of the Tönsberg. The spring is part of the "Wallburg Tönsberg" ground monument. Further on, you will reach a vantage point below the Hünenkapelle chapel with spectacular panoramic views. The rest of the route to the north also offers wonderful views and insights time and again.
