Discover your five senses on the "trail for connoisseurs". The 94 km long hiking trail takes you along the Teutoburg Forest through a total of five places and will stimulate your five senses! Each place stands for one of the senses. Feel, smell, taste, hear and see - many surprises are waiting to be discovered along the way. And in between, treat yourself to a rest at exclusive resting places. Have fun!

This stage takes you through pure nature. Shortly after the start in the center of Halle, you reach the city forest. Here, the coffee mill is the first tempting vantage point. Then it's uphill past the quarry to the Hermannshöhen and the Werther Schanze. From the ridgeway of the Hengeberges, you can also enjoy the view of the countryside. From Gottesberg you hike to Jakobsberg, known as Leberblümchenberg. The stage ends in the center of Steinhagen.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

In early spring, from around the end of March, a natural spectacle can be admired on the Jakobsberg for around three weeks: The liverwort, which is rarely found nowadays and is therefore strictly protected, can be admired in large carpets of flowers during this period.

Safety guidelines

Please stay on the paths in the nature and landscape conservation area.
