A varied, sporty loop over the hills between Barntrup, Bösingfeld and Schwelentrup.
On small, hidden paths, the track takes you over panoramic heights through the northern Lippe mountains. The highlight is the "new" viewpoint on the Steinberg, a former NATO station, which is now a NABU biotope. The hilltop has been raised by an artificial hill by around 25 m and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the Iht, the eastern Weser Hills, Porta Westfalica with the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument, the North Lippe hills with the Bega Valley, the Teutoburg Forest with the Hermann Monument, Bielstein transmitter and the 130 m windmill near Veldrom, the Köterberg and the Hohe Asch above Bösingfeld.
The route is very lonely in parts, especially at the beginning and from Bösingfeld to Schwelentrup. On nice weekends there are often motorcyclists on the small district roads. At the end, we take you through the slightly undulating Begatal valley back to the parking lot.

The detailed, written tour description is difficult due to unmarked paths, forest roads, agricultural tracks and country roads. For topographical reasons, the route should be followed in the suggested order.
The following villages are on the route: Barntrup - Windmühlenstumpf Eilenberg - Ostersiek - Drostenhof - Reine - Eichholz - Bösingfeld - Lindenbrucher Straße - Steinegge - Schaufberg*1 - Steinberg, former NATO station, now a nature reserve. NATO station, today NABU site with viewing hill - Schwelentrup - Krusfeld - Hillentrup - Dörentrup - Spork - Wendlinghausen with castle park - Betzen - Bega - Barntrup.
The route description is via GPS track in the download area.
Alternatively, the ADOBE PDF map printout is available for download from this system.
The ADFC recommends the "BVA Radwanderkarte im Kreis Lippe 1:50.000 - ISBN 978-3-87073-628-6" for local orientation.

.

*1 In the village of Schaufberg, please be considerate of the residents of the two residential buildings.
