Dreikreiseck Dinkboke (Boundary Stone Paderborn–Hochsauerland–Soest)

Highlight • Monument

Songs the place around the stones looks very cleared. There is definitely a need to reforest the forest.

Natural forest trail in the Sauerland

Highlight • Trail

Unfortunately, some paths have also been badly affected. The reason is the deforestation of the coniferous forests, since the trees have died from drought and bark beetles.

April 27, 2025,Ringelstein - Siddinghausen - Grenzsteinweg

Today, in perfect spring weather, I went on a hike in the "border triangle" (SO/PB/HSK).
I started at the Ringelstein hiking car park. I headed towards Siddinghausen along the Alme River and then along the Wermeke River into the forest. I actually wanted to see the Muna bridges (relics of the Hardt munitions depot from the Third Reich), but the …

July 14, 2024,Westfälische Wanderkeule und Hochstift Tobi kommen an ihre gemeinsame Grenze ⛰️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

One of the most striking borders of the Holy Roman Empire ran through this area and separated the Duchy of Westphalia (Archbishopric of Cologne) from the Prince-Bishopric of Paderborn (Bishopric). The border was controlled locally by the neighboring towns, who met regularly at this border and resolved conflicts through talks (mostly) peacefully. To mark the border, border stones and customs …

October 23, 2024,Grenzstein-Weg im Ringelsteiner Wald 23.10.2024

A beautiful golden October day. The autumnal play of colors and the glittering dew in the sun were magical.
The first third of the way was uphill on forest paths, including muddy sludge. It was beautiful, but exhausting. The rest of the way was on paved forest paths (not forest highways). There, too, it was mainly downhill.
The Wermeketal is …

April 5, 2025,Grenzsteinweg - Rundwanderweg Büren Harth

This time, I went for a hike near Bad Wünneberg to Harth.
There, I followed the Grenzsteinweg (the name really said it all).
I've rarely been so torn on a hike.
The first 7km of the tour were an absolute dream. A consistently great (root-based) trail with stunning scenery. It was really fun walking the trail – the time flew …

The first 33% very path-heavy. After that only forest path. Marking is good but sometimes difficult to find due to clearing. From time to time marking provisionally sprayed in green

The muse didn't kiss me when I was taking pictures today. But it was also nice just to run in the best autumn weather. At first there was still hoarfrost, later it got warmer and the sun was there all the time. The colors are just great.
