This cross-border circular route leads along the Schwalm River. The very varied tour meanders past wet meadows, juniper heaths and many different bodies of water with a rich birdlife. The observation tower with its 360-degree view is worth a detour.

The round is very varied and just great. We walked it the other way the first time and this time we decided to go left. It's always amazing what makes a difference when you just change the direction of a usual lap

Before embarking on a "slightly longer" year-end hike next Tuesday, I went on a final family hike of 2025 today in the Schwalmbruch region. It's definitely my favorite hike on wa-wa-we.eu/de/wanderwege.html. It's perfect for any season. Here's the full description: wa-wa-we.eu/de/wanderwege-details/schwalmbruch.html

Today we tackled the first of 10 routes in the Water. Hiking. World. A very well-signposted, cross-border route with diverse vegetation. Most of it is shaded, making it ideal for hiking in summer conditions. It won't be the last route in the Schwalm-Nette region.
