From the Dünschede Hölzchen hiking parking lot - located on the K 7 - you can enjoy nature and wonderful views on various hikes.
Dünschede lies on the former Heidenstraße. This location was conducive to early missionary work by Franconian monks. The existence of a church can be traced back to the 11th century. The place name Dünschede is derived from the chaplain Dietrich von Dusenschuren (around 1270). The wealthy Knights of Dusenschuren exercised great influence in the area in the period 1227-1457.

Circular hiking tip around the Biggen Kopf: Hike along the A1 around the Biggen Kopf, for example. The 5 km long and easy circular trail leads through forests that were severely damaged by the storm Kyrill and therefore offer some wonderful views of the Attendorn area. From the Guilberg, for example, you can see the "Ahauser Stausee and cliffs" nature reserve and Heggen. The reservoir with its shallow water zone is an important resting place for water birds and its rocky forest biotopes are also of outstanding importance. Another wonderful view over the Repetal opens up at the "Dünschede Heiligenhäuschen". If the one-and-a-half-hour hike is too short for you, extend the loop to 10 km along the A5 hiking trail, which leads to Burg Schnellenberg.
