Natural jewel on the western edge of the DeisterThe protected Waltersbach valley is cut into the western side of the Deister below Nienstedt. A narrow strip of extensively farmed pastureland stretches between the hillside forests. From the "Stuhldorf" village of Eimbeckhausen, we first pass the Hasselberg until shortly before Nienstedt and then hike from above through the secluded, unspoilt Waltersbachtal valley: a beautiful, short circular route that has been certified as a "quality trail" by the German Hiking Association.
