Viadukt-Wanderweg Altenbeken

Quality that is impressive awaits you on the extensive viaduct hiking trail. Over 30 kilometers, you explore the mighty railway viaduct, Altenbeken's landmark that can be seen from afar, from above and below. Collectors get the punch card specially created for the trail in advance, which can be validated at five stations. At the end, you'll receive a neat certificate and a hiking pin.

It's best to plan a whole day for the fairly long circular tour. With a snack and drinks in your backpack, you'll be well equipped, but there are also inviting places to stop for a break along the way. Again and again, you'll have beautiful views of the trains that travel over the viaduct - sometimes leisurely chugging regional trains, sometimes speeding express trains. And since the tour is well signposted, you can concentrate fully on this unique experience.

But it's not just the omnipresent viaduct that will amaze you. You will also pass the Max and Moritz spring. The figures are set in stone and are sure to put a smile on your face.

The last few kilometers are particularly picturesque as you walk through the expansive Dunetal and the Egge idyll. Enjoy the great landscape to the fullest. If you like, you can take a closer look at the historic steam locomotive that awaits you at the end of the tour.
