- 20.26 km
- Start: Borgholzhausen town center
- Destination: Versmold town center
A breathtaking view, a border crossing and plenty of history await you on the longest stage. From Borgholzhausen, the route leads up to the Luisenturm tower with its panoramic view. Later, you will come across a royal border, historic mills and giant trees in Versmold town park. As if that wasn't enough, a church with an embrasure and a fountain with two names await you at the end of the stage. Because 20 kilometers on foot is a challenge, there are two rest stops along the way.
