    ADFC Station Bad Meinberg Brunnenstraße 67 32805 Horn - Bad Meinberg

    Tour destination: Two highlights in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park. Suitable for MTB beginners and sporty everyday cyclists - even with an e-MTB. If you don't have much time, this circular route offers "cycling enjoyment for in between".

    We take you from the starting point at the ADFC station in Bad Meinberg through the Napte valley with the moorland extraction plant and on small roads between the Bellenberg and Ziegenberg to Leopoldstal. On lonely forest roads, you climb the highest mountain in the Teutoburg Forest / Eggegebirge Nature Park, the Prussian Velmerstot with the Eggeturm, at Silberort. From there, you roll down into the upper Silberbach valley to the village of Veldrom and along the Zangenbach stream towards the Externsteine natural and cultural monument, which is well worth seeing. From there, we take you comfortably through Horn and back to the starting point.
