On the Lutternschen Egge, with its 263 m height, there is an old quarry that can be followed along large parts of its upper edge. There are no signs pointing there, but also no barriers anymore. Those who walk along the upper edge experience a phenomenal view towards the Stemweder Berg or the Rehburger Bergen and far beyond to the north. You can really see who will come over for coffee next week. 😉 Incidentally, a completely new dinosaur species was discovered in the quarry at our feet: the Wiehenvenator, excavated only in 1998. The original skeleton can be found in Münster today.

Good trail, but also watch out for the many great single trails running parallel.

The single trails parallel to the main path are worth every detour.
