A path that amazes, puzzles, and stimulates the imagination. Between prehistoric dinosaur tracks and the site of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, there are further exciting time jumps over 105 km. DiVa - four letters stand for the history of a region and the highlights of a hiking trail that runs along the Wiehengebirge in the TERRA.vita Nature and Geopark. Dinosaurs once ruled the area before much later the Roman governor Varus met his fate here. Evidence of these stays can be found near Bad Essen-Barkhausen in the form of massive Dinosaur footprints, which can be admired on a steep rock face. Information boards and dinosaur models provide insights into the ancient geological era.

    Uns hat der Weg gut gefallen. Wir sind ihn in umgekehrter Richtung gelaufen, zuerst am Kanal lang. Dort hatten wir sogar Schatten durch die Bäume und der Rasen war gemäht. Später dann durch den Wald zurück zur Leckermühle, sehr zu empfehlen.

    Das ist wirklich ein sehr cooler Wanderweg. Man läuft Wege entlang, die als solche manchmal gar nicht zu erkennen sind und oftmals denkt man man latscht gleich auf ein Grundstück, dabei nimmt man nur einen nicht so stark begangenen Weg. Es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht, war abwechslungsreich und auch herausfordernd. Ein Weg ging sogar mitten durchs Maisfeld! Die kleinen Siedlungen zwischendurch waren wirklich sehr hübsch gelegen, man kann ganz tolle Grundstücke und Häuser anschauen.

    Landschaftlich schöne, abwechslungsreiche Strecke. Mehrere kulturelle Sehenswürdigkeiten. Gut befestigte Wege durch lichte Mischwälder, leider viel grober Schotter oder Asphalt.

    Grundsätzlich war die Route schön. An einer Stelle war der Weg durch den Wald leider stark zugewachsen, so dass wir ausweichen mussten. Außerdem gab es auf den unbefestigten Waldwegen Schlammkuhlen, die von Pferden durchgetreten wurden. Somit sollte man unbedingt geeignete Schuhe tragen. Ansonsten ist die Route empfehlenswert! 🙋🏼‍♀️
