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 section offers an enticing overall package: unspoiled nature, diverse history, fascinating art and important industry. From the center of Steinhagen - after a detour to the museum - you hike through the Teutoburg Forest up to the Kaiser Friedrich Hütte. At the Arminius spring, you reach the "Riechen" rest area. After the descent, Werther awaits you with a cornucopia of sights. It's all about bone glue, a famous painter and plenty of confectionery.

Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Pay a visit to the Steinhagen Historical Museum! Here, on an exhibition area of over 650 square meters, you will not only find a carefully assembled collection of historical distilling equipment and utensils for the production and sale of "Steinhäger", but also replicas of an old local pharmacy and a "corner store".

Safety guidelines

Please watch out for mountain bikers, who are often to be found in the area of the ridge path.
