The gorge is currently inaccessible, but it's still beautiful to look at from the outside. The forest path leads past the gorge from two sides, once at the same level and once higher up, allowing you to see inside and admire the scenery from above.

The bronze figures of the New Year's singers, popularly known as New Year's singers, are a thank you to the old night watchmen and their tradition of singing on New Year's Eve, which lives on to this day. The figures represent different characters - from tall and slim to small and plump - and reflect the changing fashion, from the classic Prince Henry hat to the stylish Humphrey Bogart look. The figures were donated in 2004 as a tribute to the traditions, on the occasion of the 111th anniversary of the local history association, and were brought to life in 2006 by the Bielefeld sculptor Nina Koch. They stand next to the Landcafe Schulze at the entrance to the car park

The figure of the Kiepenkerl (opposite Cafe Schulze) represents the honey cake baking tradition in Borgholzhausen. But it is also well known due to traditional events such as the potato market and the Christmas market. A real attraction for all visitors and residents (I'll skip the gender thing). A nice place for hikers and cyclists, not just because of the "Schulze" shop café. In the rear line of sight there is a nice mural
