From the rustic Hiebammenhütte into the Kalkkuppen: Bizarre-looking stone monuments protrude from the extensive meadows and Weide.
Then it goes into the Aatal with its seven mills. Finally, in Alme, the natural beauty of the Almequellen awaits you: more than 100 individual springs spring from the limestone of the headwaters, which unite to form the Alme and flow northwards.
A short detour to the site of the Iguanodon, the "prehistoric cow", in Nehden also provides insights into the geological history of the region. You can admire a model in the Museum Haus Hövener after your return.
