Archäologisch-Geschichtlicher Wanderweg

Hike on historical traces in Borchen

Starting at the stone cist graves in Kirchborchen, this beautiful nature trail takes you through the fields to the vicinity of the BAB 33 highway route, where a detailed replica of a barrow grave, probably unique in North Rhine-Westphalia, has been created. The next stage of this educational trail is the Iron Age hillfort near Gellinghausen with its monumental gate and ditch complexes. The trail leads through the Altenautal valley back to Kirchborchen. Here, the parish church of St. Michael with its fortified tower, the landmark of the municipality of Borchen, is the final destination of the archaeological-historical nature trail.
