Enjoy nature and discover the most beautiful corners of Meinerzhagen on foot: our "Wanderbares M" stage tour offers all of this. The approximately 50 km long hike, divided into 4 (half) day stages, leads in the shape of an "M" past the Wasserschloß Badinghagen, the Meinhardus Mattenschanzen (the landmark of Meinerzhagen), the Fürwiggetalsperre and through the Quellental and the Ebbemoore to the heights of the Ebbegebirge and the Nordhelle (663 m above sea level).
The route then continues down the valley past the Knochenmühle mill and the St. Maria Magdalena chapel (Grotewiese) to the idyllic Listertalsperre dam. If you still haven't had enough, you can discover further highlights on one of the numerous circular trails following the "Wanderbare M". At some points along the route, you can listen to exciting legends from the "magical world of legends at the top of the Volme".
The tour runs along marked hiking trails and is also marked with a white "M" on a blue-green striped circle.

Information
Directions
The legendary "Willertshagen Devil's Stone" awaits us directly at the hiking parking lot. A few minutes' walk from the hiking parking lot, the path leads us past an old cart track on the left-hand side of the path to a small viewing plateau, from where we have a beautiful view of the flora and fauna of the Grundlose, the headwaters of the Lister. The legendary site of "The Romans in the Grundlose" is located here. The rest of the trail leads through meadows and forests and impresses with its wonderful tranquillity and beautiful nature. Once we reach the Kammweg, we approach the "VolmeSchatz Natur" circular trail, which takes us around the Fürwiggetalsperre dam and provides us with exciting information. After circling the dam, the trail leads back to the Kammweg, which we leave after a short while to descend into the Quellental valley. In spring, it's also worth taking a short detour to the March-flower trail, where thousands of March-flowering bulbs cover the forest floor like a carpet.
Equipment
Different surfaces await us on this hiking tour. Sturdy hiking boots and clothing suitable for the weather are recommended. Hiking provisions (food & drinks) should be taken along.
Safty guidelines
