Directions
From the starting point at Bruchmühlen station, the route heads north after a southern detour past the Torbogenhaus and the Alte Post. After a short time, you reach Westkilver and continue through the Kilverbach valley along Haus Kilver to Rödinghausen with St. Bartholomew's Church. The route then climbs up to the ridge path in the Wiehengebirge and the highest point of the tour: the Nonnenstein. The route then descends again in an easterly direction via Schierenbeke, past the Häcker Wiehen stadium. From there, the route takes another northern loop from Stukenhöfen to Mesch Neue Mühle railroad station and again along the Wiehengebirge to the Rilke memorial stone. From "Vor den Bäumen", the route heads south via the Bauernschaftsglocke in Dono and via Bieren, past the Böckel estate back to the starting point at Bruchmühlen station.
