The Warburger Börde was populated by people very early on. The limestone semi-dry lawn along the Heinberg testifies to the former forms of cultivation - and today offers you a unique landscape for hiking.

November 27, 2022,Quastumrundung - Rundtour am Diemeltaler Schmeterlingssteig 🦋

The parking search was a bit chaotic today and the parking lot wasn't exactly where it should be either, but we finally found it 😁 Google Maps went a little nuts...

From the parking lot we hiked directly to the viewing platform Quastholle 👣🐾
Unfortunately, today was real November weather and the view was a bit cloudy. But we could …

Today we went again on a round of the Diemeltaler Schmetterlingsteig. It was a round that went up and down. The roads were all good. The boundary stones there were also very interesting. It's good that you have internet there and can read up on it. There are many places to rest on the paths. Unfortunately, the view from the …

The northern part through Höxter, the southern through Waldeck-Frankenberg. The sections can be easily combined for round trips. Today we hiked the western part near Diemelstadt / Rhoden. We started in Wethen. …

Our Easter hike in finally good weather took us to the Warburg region. A lovely, varied tour with two minor flaws, lots of asphalt and few benches. But there are lovely farm shops in the Diemel villages.

Today in the summery weather ☀️ a wonderful hike with Hexe-marian, Wilmer and their hellhounds Momo and Wilma. We started from Wethen and came through the NSG Eilsbusch with a high stock of blue-red and genuine Stone Seed. The path then led us along the Quast, the Gaulskopf and over the Heinberg with the Heinturm. On the way many stately …
