history

A path already ran over the ridge of the Egge Mountains in prehistoric times. Based on this former trade and military route, the Eggegebirgsverein, founded in 1900, developed today's hiking trail at the beginning of the 20th century, initially as a route from Velmerstot to Bonenburg . The path was later extended to the Externstein in the north and to Niedermarsberg in the south.

2004 Eggeweg was one of the first three German trails the quality seal "quality trail Walking in Germany" of the German Hiking Association as a predicate trail excellent. In the Hermannshöhen project , the path was connected in 2004 with the Hermannsweg in the Teutoburg Forest, which adjoins it to the north to form a 226 km long ridge path .
