Views around the Wenne valley

We start this hike at the chapel of the small village Niederberndorf. Our hike sign is NB1. For a short stretch, we follow the road leading to Mailar, then turn right and enter the street "Am Schwimmberg". At the second curve, we continue straight ahead following NB1. Initially, we remain in the Wenne valley and then turn right on a paved, ascending path into a side valley, continuing to follow NB1.

If we encounter a hunting stand there, we must turn sharply left and follow the path NB1 towards Menkhausen. We turn left twice at the paved road and reach the village Menkhausen. Here, we cross the Wenne stream and district road 32. Beyond that, we turn immediately left, following NB1 into the "Königsallee" and gradually climb out of the village, always following the path and NB1 on the paved road, then turn left and reach the Hardebusch farmstead.

We continue straight ahead, turn right at the junction, following the path sign ME1, and later reach a country road. We have to go about 250 meters left over it and again turn left at the first turn (path without sign, sign water supply facility). Now we follow a small paved road to the few houses of Landenbecker Bruch. Before the first house, we go left to the edge of the forest, then right, and follow X25. Our path continuously leads along the forest edge and offers splendid views into the Wenne valley towards Niederberndorf and over a part of the Hawerland. When we meet the NB1 marking at a crossroad, we turn right and gradually descend the hillside, returning to our starting point Niederberndorf.

Sturdy footwear and sufficient drinks are recommended. Since the path offers little shade, sun protection is advantageous on sunny days.

Bus line 345 runs to Niederberndorf. To reach the start point of the route, use the "Niederberndorf" bus stop.
