In 1994 the state horticultural show took place here, and even today the castle with its park and the beautiful and well-tended plants is always worth a visit.

August 10, 2024,🚵 Senneradweg 🏞️

We started with Heiko at Neuhaus Castle 🏰, into the Senne through blooming heath. Past the local history center in Bentlage with old buildings 🏘️ to the next station Emsquelle. Continue past the Hermannsdenkmal within sight, towards Externsteine ⛰️ then always downhill, to Bad Lippspringe and to the Lippequelle. From there back towards Paderborn, Neuhaus Castle. A great cycle path …

We first rode the European Cycle Route R1 and after about 6 kilometers switched to the Senne Cycle Route. Along the way, we could see the Hermann Monument in the distance. After a few meters …

July 15, 2024,Senneradweg mir kleinen Umwegen 😎🧐🤣

Unfortunately, this tour is not suitable for racing bikes. Sections with pebbles and forest floor.
The Sennerad logo was missing in places 🙈 which was great if you want to follow signs.
It's better to download the tour and go to Komoot.
It was worth a try 😁😁.
Other than that, it was a nice tour.
I took Hermann with …

On what will probably be the last longer tour this year, we head to the Sene in the best weather. Instead of going to Hercules to Hermann. 😉 Externsteine are always impressive.
