The tour on the Hermannshöhen from Borgholzhausen to Halle Westfalen offers a varied route through wooded paths and beautiful viewpoints such as Ravensberg Castle. The route leads across meadows and fields via the Barenberg and the Kammweg to the destination.
The tour starts at the "Enkefeld" public transport stop in Borgholzhausen. You hike through meadows and fields up to Ravensberg Castle. The route continues over the Barenberg in the direction of Halle. Above Wichlinghausen, the trail makes a few turns before continuing along the ridge. Once you reach the transmission tower on the Große Egge - the highest point of the tour - a highlight is within easy reach: the "Kaffeemühle" in Halle, a beautiful vantage point high above the town of Linden. As the tour continues, you can enjoy the surrounding landscape on the narrow ridge of the Teutoburg Forest. The end point is the "Rehkitz" stop, from where you can easily return home by public transport. 
 
Highlights on the route
  • The Ravensberg Castle - an outstanding landmark of the region - is a medieval castle and is considered one of the most important sights in the district of Gütersloh. It is situated on a hill and offers a magnificent view of the surrounding countryside. It is also worth taking a look at the pretty cottage garden on a guided tour to the well house and the tower. Break tip: Ravensberg Castle is a great place to take a break. 
  • The viewpoint "Coffee Mill", whose building is shaped like a coffee mill, offers a spectacular view over Halle and the surrounding area.
