Whether you want to hike, walk, jog or simply take a leisurely stroll, let your gaze wander into the distance on the Sachsenring. The approximately 18-kilometre circular hiking trail impresses with magnificent views and takes you past numerous sights such as the Gräflicher Park and the Buddenberg Arboretum.

The Sachsenring runs within sight of Bad Driburg and thus offers you any number of shortcuts. A detour to the Iburg ruins and the Kaiser-Karls-Turm tower is definitely worthwhile and makes the tour a popular hiking trail alongside various rest areas and restaurants for a leisurely stop.

The hiking trail first takes you from the parking lot of the outdoor pool to the Reelser Kreuz, from where you have a wonderful view of the spa town and the wooded Eggewall with the Iburg. The final point is the Steinberg, which offers you a wide view of the Emderhöhe and the silhouettes of the Nethegau from the Arboretum tree park.

At the Bollerwien spring with its treading pool and benches as well as at other shelters along the way, you have the opportunity to linger.

The Sachsenring trail sign is the circled white S on a black background.
