This 19-kilometer-long circular hiking trail was created in memory of two regional foresters. Even though the poacher's hiking trail has a dark origin, you can look forward to fascinating cliffs, a castle-like observation tower and lots of nature.

You start in Lichtenau-Kleinenberg and walk to the pretty pilgrimage church. You…

Nice round, everything looks completely different than a few years ago because entire forest areas have disappeared. There are a few pesky gravel areas in the middle of the trail, otherwise there are some nice little trails and nice rocks.

Start and finish: Bus stop Temme, Kleinenberg

The poacher hiking trail is one of the official partner trails of the Hermannshöhen and works surprisingly well as a supplementary trail, despite the fact that a good half of the route is parallel to the Hermannshöhen and that in my case I already knew a good 2/3 of the way.

The hike starts at the pilgrimage church in Kleinenberg and leads partly along paved paths, as well as along narrow trails and forest roads through the Egge valley. The ferns on the Klippenweg trail, now as tall as a man, seem to grow thicker every year. We were lucky that most of the path had been cleared, but a bit …

Went on a beautiful but strenuous (lots of icy paths) hike with a friend. Afterwards we enjoyed a good coffee ☕️ with a very tasty waffle 🧇 in the pilgrim cafe in Kleinenberg. We deserved it 😊.

Some hiking trails are extremely overgrown with raspberry bushes, thorn bushes, ferns, and other shrubs. Some are barely recognizable. Arms, legs, and clothing are severely damaged. This route is not recommended.

Today I was with 2/4 of die_wilden_vier on a nice loop through the Egge with only moderate inclines. I went on this tour in 2012 and 2015. The route is very varied up to the sacrificial stone and the cliff path (around kilometer 16). Especially the deep cut of the old railway and Bierbaum's nail are very worth seeing. The …

The harrow seems to magically attract me 😊 The official poacher hiking trail was unknown to me, along which the most important sights (Alte Eisenbahn, Karlsschanze, Bierbaumsnagel) are located. It is also nice that this hiking trail leads over part of the Eggeweg (Teutonia cliffs). For everyone who would like to explore this area again, the poacher hiking trail is …

We set off from Kleinenberg in perfect weather on the Poacher's Trail. It's a beautiful hike through open terrain, forest, and fern jungle. Due to the vegetation, the many cliffs and rocks are only visible in a few places at this time of year. The trail is steep and veers over gravel and asphalt sections. The last 3km can be …
