Destinationpoint

Lichtenau-Blankenrode, Altenau spring

Hike along the circular trail through one of the most beautiful valleys in the Paderborn region.

The Altenau hiking trail is a tour for anyone who appreciates a particularly long hike. Shady natural forest paths alternate with well-surfaced paths along the banks of the Altenau and the Husen reservoir for 69 km. Expansive views of the beautiful landscape with its idyllic villages are a reward for the short climbs.

Hiking along the Altenau hiking trail is also an encounter with history, architecture, venerable churches and half-timbered romanticism. A detour to the imposing Dalheim monastery complex, which today houses the LWL State Museum of Monastery Culture, is well worthwhile.

Hiker-friendly restaurants and cafés, such as the historic Mallinckrofthof, provide refreshments and fuel you for the next few kilometers of hiking.

The Altenau hiking trail is marked at many prominent points with its own route signs: a square green sign with "Altenau hiking trail" printed in white and a blue river course. The hiking tour is a circular route. You can start or end at any point along the route and hike in either direction.

We recommend good hiking boots and weatherproof clothing for this tour.

Take some time to visit the State Museum of Monastery Culture at Dalheim Monastery. You can buy a bottle of the home-brewed Dalheimer Klosterbräu in the monastery store for your next break - delicious!
