The Hochwald route is a sporting challenge for experienced cyclists. You start gently in the climatic health resort of Bad Lippspring and challenge your calves all the way across the wide fields up into the Lippspring forest/state forest. The route length of around 21 km offers some steep climbs, great views and a beautiful long descent back to Bad Lippspringe!

Sights worth seeing and knowing on the climatic Hochwald route:

Bad Lippspringe castle ruins

At the Lipperquelle spring, you will see the ruins of the castle, Bad Lippspringe's landmark, which was first mentioned in a document in 1312. Today, it is used as a venue for a variety of cultural events, such as historical knights' dinners.

The flower town of Bad Lippspringe

Bad Lippspringe has been awarded a gold medal in the town competition "Our town is in bloom". Elaborately designed flower arrangements catch the eye everywhere in the town area.
