Hiking

This promising circular hike would have deserved the title “The Three Towers”. They open up fascinating panoramas over the border area between Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. And all of this was under water millions of years ago. You are practically walking on the sea floor.

It starts in Borgholzhausen, directly with a sweaty ascent to the Luisenturm. Where trees sprout today and small settlements peek out from among the fields, there was still a tropical sea in the Cretaceous period. The Luisenturm is one of three "lighthouses" that give you a fabulous view. You have already reached the highest point of the tour.

At a leisurely pace, you continue to the “Auf der Steinegge” observation tower near Dissen at ridge height. If you have climbed up to the wide viewing platform, the Teutoburg Forest lies below you in all its splendor. From here it is now downhill to the Black Spring, where you can treat your tired feet to cool off in the splashing water.

The path climbs gently again and brings you to the third tower, where an inn beckons you to stop. Once you have regained your strength, you can still digest a little on the descent. Then the next and last ascent follows up to the Neuenkirchener Berg. You have almost reached the end of the tour.

Luisen Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

A nice place to take a little break. The rise, especially from the southern direction (Borgholzhausen) but is fierce. At the weekend, the little hut is open and offers drinks. Then go up to enjoy the great view. The Luisenturn is 20 meters high.

Dissen telecommunications tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pretty high and a bit drafty, but the view from here on the Teutoburg Forest is breathtaking!

Alma Spring (Schwarze Welle)

Highlight • Natural Monument

A beautiful spring pool that helps the hare thrive, as liters of water bubble up from the earth at a temperature of about 7 to 9 degrees Celsius. It's also an ideal spot for a short rest.

Beutling Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

After the ascent, you will be rewarded with a beautiful panoramic view on the observation tower. But be careful, there are very steep hiking trails to the tower. The ascent by bike should therefore only be undertaken with caution and only by mountain bike or eBike.

March 2, 2025,Von Quellen und Steinen bei Borgholzhausen - Hermannshöhen Tourentipp 08 🥾🥾☀️

In bright sunshine, there was another mother-daughter hike today ☀️
We decided on a tour tip from the Hermannshöhen:
Three observation towers on the ridge of the Teutoburg Forest offer wide panoramas on this hiking tour through the natural and romantic border area of Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia.
The numerous springs and lakes along the way are also characteristic …

August 17, 2022,D - Teutoburger Wald - Luisenturm, Steinegge und Beutling

I was craving for a more challenging hike again, preferably one with many steep climbs and descents. As a Dutch person living near the German border, the nearby Teutoburgerwald can provide me with just that.

Today's hike started and ended from the carpark on the summit near the Luisenturm lookout tower, not far from the town of Borgholzhausen in the …

April 5, 2025,Luisenturm am Hermannsweg – Schöner Kammweg Runde von Borgholzhausen mit Lucas.😁

We finished the entire tour, but unfortunately, my phone battery died in the last 4 kilometers. I probably convinced my friend to do more hiking. 😁 The beer made it possible!🍻

January 7, 2023,3-Türme-Wanderung von Lebkuchenstadt Borgholzhausen ⛅️ 11 Grad

In view of the sunny prospects (which unfortunately didn't happen for up to half an hour 😊), there was great motivation to go on a nice hike on partly unknown paths in Teuto. Starting point today was the gingerbread town of Borgholzhausen. After 1.5 km ascent, we went over the Luisenturm... 5 km further to the next one on the …

March 23, 2024,Kammweg Hermannsweg Runde von Wellingholzhausen über Borgholzhausen

The first 3/4 of the round is very nice! It goes through dense pine forests up to the ridge path! If necessary, access from Wellingholzhausen can be shortened to the hiking car park. The climb to the ridge path is steep and slippery in wet weather. There are always going up and down on the ridge, and here too every …

The shortcut at Hollandskopf is not recommended. Komoot's map material is incorrect. Better go to Borgholzhausen!
