The Harrl holds many historical traces: they tell of coal mining and sandstone quarries, of the war against Napoleon's troops and peace festivals, of the first gymnastic ground in all of Lower Saxony, and of former leisure activities at shooting ranges in the forest. Six information panels along the hiking trails show you these traces – which would otherwise probably remain hidden – and tell stories from and about the Harrl.

On the dinosaur tracks at Bückeberg and over the HarrlFar in the north of the Weserbergland, the Bückeberg is usually still included. It is the last significant ridge before the terrain transitions into the North German "Pampa", meaning the lowlands. Stadthagen, the capital of the Schaumburg district, Obernkirchen, the mining town known for its sandstone quarries, Bad Eilsen as a spa resort, and Bückeburg, the former residence town of the County of Schaumburg-Lippe, are all nearby. With perfect transport infrastructure, we start in Stadthagen, approach the Bückeberg (whose name actually comes from the Low German "Beuke" for beech) from the north side, and later discover fossilized tracks of former dinosaurs on a sandstone slab. These creatures left their footprints – now quite well decoded – around an unimaginable 140 million years ago (Lower Cretaceous) in the area of a lagoon. In Bad Eilsen, the Bückeberg lies behind us, but the smaller outlier of the Harrl is still ahead. Crossing it leads past the Ida Tower and finally ends in the picturesque town of Bückeburg.
