From the village of Sandebeck in the valley basin, there are over 240 meters of altitude to conquer to climb the steep Eggekamm ridge. On wide forest paths through deep forests, the tour leads up to the natural paths of the Eggeweg. These lead over rooty paths with shallow ups and downs directly to the steep edge of the Egge eastern slope.
The deciduous forests give way to an unexpected open landscape at the Prussian Velmerstot, which offers wide views over the Egge, Teutoburg Forest and Weserbergland as far as the Sauerland. For an even better view, climb the Eggeturm tower at the 468-meter-high summit. On a clear day, you can spot some of the region's landmarks from there: the Köterberg and the Hermann monument in the north-west and the Desenberg in the south-east.
Before you hike back to Sandebeck, you should definitely make a detour to the Lippische Velmerstot with its rugged rocky landscape and exposed sandstone blocks.
