From Lemgo to Hameln, the E1 follows the Hansaweg. Through the Lippe hill country, the path leads me quite a bit up and down from North Rhine-Westphalia to Lower Saxony, mostly heading east.
Scenically, this stage is very appealing and varied. The path is very pleasant for hiking because the proportion of paved road is very low.

The Wild Thieves Route follows the tracks of the Silixen poachers and wood thieves who, 100 years ago, supplied their meat and wood needs in not entirely legal ways through poaching and wood theft in the surrounding forests. Silixen was considered a stronghold of these activities. On over 20 information boards, the interested hiker learns a lot about the local history: for example, where the field names come from or where the Silixen drew their drinking water. The path also passes the “King Pine,” the most magnificent specimen of its kind in the Lippe forests, as well as trenches from World War II and centuries-old boundary stones. So there is much to discover. Wonderful views complement the route. A detour (300 m) to the family area, which offers very special views of the Kalletal, is highly recommended.
