A very great section! However, the paths are really very, very narrow and sometimes barely recognizable. Mutual consideration is definitely required. This path is more of a trail through roots, leaves, and also rolling gravel.

🚲 For your tour, this viewpoint is an absolute highlight to briefly put your legs up and let the vastness of your homeland sink in. When the sun is low and bathes the landscape in a golden light, this moment becomes almost magical – the perfect place to pause briefly before you use the momentum of the descent for the next few kilometers.

🌾 The distant view to the north and east is particularly fascinating, where the silhouette of the Teutoburg Forest often appears on the horizon. It is a place that gives you an incredible feeling of freedom, while the gentle breeze blows around your face and the church towers of the surrounding villages stand out like small markers from the lush green.
