On this circular tour, you start your hike at the Vlotho castle ruins. We recommend taking a look at them at the end of the tour and enjoying the fantastic view with a cool drink.

Take the path down through the forest towards the B514. Once you arrive at Sperlsiek, you leave urban life behind and turn off into the forest. The dense treetops in summer provide shade and a pleasant coolness as you make your way through the hilly landscape.
At the old forester's house, the route climbs steeply once again before you find yourself back in the middle of the woods. Some time later, the route continues past a lonely house towards the stadium. Shortly afterwards, you will be back at the starting point of your hike.
With a bit of luck, you will be able to see as far as the Kaiser Wilhelm monument in Porta Westfalica from the castle walls.
