Discover your five senses on the "trail for connoisseurs". The 94 km long hiking trail takes you along the Teutoburg Forest through a total of five places and will stimulate your five senses! Each place stands for one of the senses. Feel, smell, taste, hear and see - many surprises are waiting to be discovered along the way. And in between, treat yourself to a rest at exclusive resting places. Have fun!

The route from Halle to "Pium", as Borgholzhausen is also known, is characterized by two imposing buildings. The OWL ARENA at the start of the tour stands for modernity and the big wide world. Ravensberg Castle, on the other hand, is the symbol of the Ravensberg region's local history. After descending from the castle hill, hikers pass the picturesque Osning sandstone farms on the way to their destination. Finally, "Pium" awaits with dinosaur tracks and one of the oldest churches.

Come to the restaurant at Ravensberg Castle at the weekend! The terrace attracts many guests on Sundays and public holidays and invites you to dream away on less busy days. Home-baked cakes and delicious soups and stews made with local ingredients are very popular with guests.

Watch out for mountain bikers, who are often to be found along the ridge path.
