The A1 circular hiking trail leads hikers along beautiful paths between the Volme and Aggerquelle springs through the beautiful natural surroundings of the south of Meinerzhagen. After a few hundred meters along the road, the trail follows narrow paths along the mountain slopes through woods and meadows before reaching the wide forest path, which leads us along a small stream towards Badinghagen Castle. The final ascent rewards us again and again with views of the Meinhardusschanzen before we reach the Schallershaus hiking parking lot again.
Information
Equipment
Due to the alternating ground surfaces and the sometimes narrow footpaths through woods and meadows, sturdy walking shoes and long pants are recommended.
Safty guidelines
After rainy days, the natural paths in particular can be somewhat slippery and soggy.
First aid: In an emergency, call the emergency number 112 and quote the rescue point number. Rescue points are marked access points in the forest for rescue vehicles. If the nearest rescue point is not known, your location can be called up directly via AML (Advanced Mobile Location) during the emergency call.
Author Tip
A stop at the Hotel Restaurant Am Schnüffel (Heerstraße 10, Tel. 02354/2580, Am-Schnueffel@t-online.de) is recommended for all "hikers".
Leave the A1 circular hiking trail briefly and catch a glimpse, even if only from a distance, of the Wasserschloß Badinghagen.
