description
The long-distance cycle path begins in Soest and leads over the legendary Hellweg across the Gütersloher Land to Bielefeld on the edge of the Teutoburg Forest . It continues through the Lipper Bergland into the valley of the Emmer to Hameln on the Weser . Along the way, the towns of Bad Sassendorf and Erwitte with its castle are crossed. The route continues through the Soester Börde , the Gütersloher Land and over the Bielefelder Pass to Bielefeld. It continues along the Obersee through the Lipperland to Lemgo , and then leads through the Begatal , where Wendlinghausen Castle is located. Next, the train-bike route leads through the Emmertal , along the Schiedersee to Hameln.
