There are several paths in the Schaumburg Forest where cycling is expressly prohibited (as indicated by signs)! This should be respected at all costs. Anyone who doesn't will literally end up "on the wrong track"; such paths often end in the middle of the forest and/or in a bottomless mud hole. 🙈🥵 Woe to anyone who gets stuck or falls there!

There are few trails in the Schaumburg Forest that are as freely and comfortably navigable. When heavy machinery has been working in the forest, even the few paved trails should be enjoyed with caution. Side trails and less paved paths are then considered "adventurous" or even impassable.

The strawberry fields for self-picking are just across the street. And the strawberry cake isn't far behind either.

A lovely café with homemade cakes, and a farm shop next door that has just about everything. Rooms for rent for bed and bikes

The museum has created a rather informative exhibition, the centerpiece of which are working models, such as the one of the Obernkirchen tunnel. Be sure to take a look. The staff there are also happy to share more details about Obernkirchen's history.
