The X 2 is considered an interesting counterpoint to the Eggeweg, which opens up the mountains in a north-south direction, but hardly leaves the ridge.

The Nethe-Alme Trail crosses the mountain range. From the heights of the Brakel shell limestone threshold, the trail first leads in a westerly direction through the largest eastern excavation trench of the mountain range, which is crossed at Herbram-Wald.

In the western Längstal valley, the route crosses the Sauer, Altenau and Alme rivers, which cut through the Paderborn plateau. The route was chosen so that those interested in history and culture also get their money's worth.
