The Sintfeld in the heart of the Paderborn plateau is a gently undulating cultural landscape with a very special charm that has been shaped over thousands of years.

The 144 km hiking trail can be divided into 6 daily stages and is suitable for keen hikers thanks to its moderate gradients.

Wide views across the karst plateau with its fields and alluvial valleys are just as stimulating for the senses as the fresh scent of forests and heaths. If you look closely, you can discover exciting geological phenomena such as the shrinking of streams. Small watercourses, such as the lively River Alme, seep into the ground at significant points, only to reappear elsewhere.

The countless insights into the eventful past are also exciting along the way:  Stone cists and burial mounds, ruins, churches and monasteries turn the hike on the Sintfeld High Trail into a historical journey through time.

Numerous cafés, restaurants and inns along the way also make the hike an encounter with genuine Westphalian hospitality and delicious, down-to-earth cuisine.
