    A cycle tour on the Altenau cycle path is more than just sporting activity. It is the experience of one of the most beautiful valleys in the Paderborn region and an intensive encounter with nature.

    The Altenautal valley has been inhabited for thousands of years and  has grown in and with nature. Many stone chamber graves with an age of up to 5,000 years bear witness to this.

    Cycling along the Altenau cycle path is an encounter with history, architecture, venerable churches and half-timbered romanticism. The Altenau valley offers history turned to stone. A detour from the reservoir in Lichtenau-Husen to the mighty Dalheim Monastery, approx. 2.5 km away, is also worthwhile.

    Biking on the Altenau cycle path is, above all, an encounter with nature. Follow the small river from its source in Lichtenau-Blankenrode and along its 28 km length to where it flows into the Alme near Nordborchen and experience the enchanting charm of the "Preferred Recreation Area Altenautal" along the way. Hospitable restaurants and cafés as well as many leisure facilities await you along the way.

    The Altenau Cycle Path is marked at many prominent points with its own route signs: an oval signpost with a stylized blue river and green print on a white background. The route is marked with green arrows in both directions.

    The easiest way to cycle the Altenau cycle path is downstream from the source in Lichtenau-Blankenrode to Nordborchen and possibly further along the Alme to Paderborn: Blankenrode - Husen - Atteln - Henglarn - Etteln - Kirchborchen - Nordborchen

    Always pay attention to the road safety of your bicycle. For your own safety and as a role model, we recommend wearing a bicycle helmet.

    If you still have time at the end of the route, you can switch to the Alme cycle path (the Altenau flows into the Alme in Nordborchen) and cycle comfortably to Paderborn-Schloss Neuhaus.

    A 44, exit Lichtenau/Meerhof, continue towards Lichtenau, then turn right towards Blankenrode
