Bad Driburg has an extensive, signposted network of cycle paths that offer a wide range of opportunities for cycling and hiking. To the east, you can take a leisurely ride through the countryside to the Weser, while the west is a challenge for experienced cyclists and mountain bikers in particular will get their money's worth here. On this tour, conquer the defiant Dringenberg Castle as a modern bike knight on the saddle of your steel steed, after crossing the tranquil Ösetal valley and enjoying wonderful views.

From the pavilion at the level crossing, you first head south on the R2. At the Antonius Chapel - a chapel dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua in an idyllic location in a small mixed forest - there is an opportunity for a short stop before you enter the tranquil Ösetal valley. After looking out of the valley at the Bad Driburg district of Dringenberg with its defiant castle, turn right to enjoy the view from the chapel hill at Altenheerse. Back in the Öse valley, cross the Öse ford or take the path over the pedestrian bridge and face the steep climb to the mountain village. At the top, reward yourself with a short tour of Dringenberg. Here you should visit the castle and the old town hall, where regular (art) exhibitions are held. The highlight is the castle courtyard and the view into the deep well.
