On the Hermannshöhen: The Eggeweg by Tim
May 17, 2025 · Community
Bin den Eggeweg in 3 Etappen gegangen. Leider ist auf den ersten beiden Etappen schon viel toter Wald und man fühlt sich teilweise wie auf dem Mond, aber das Stück von Willebadessen(ab Überquerung B68 eigentlich )bis nach Blankenrode ist schon genial. Immer auf schmalen Waldwegen. Null Lärmbelästigung. Allerdings sind auch einige Höhenmeter zu bewältigen. Hat Spaß gemacht!!

Schöner Gebirgsweg (hat mir besser gefallen als der sich nahtlos anschließende Hermannsweg). Gelaufen von Marsberg bis Externsteine im Juli 2021 (im Anschluss sofort weiter Hermannsweg bis Rheine). Tour: ultralight, 1x Übernachtung (Z.) am Trail, Anreise: DB
