Forecast for Paderborn

10-day forecast
One of the most beautiful walking routes in Paderborn leads along the Paderspark. This park stretches along the Pader River and offers visitors a picturesque setting with green meadows and old trees. Here you can take a leisurely stroll or hike longer distances - depending on your preferences and physical condition.

Another highlight is the Egge Mountains south of Paderborn. This low mountain range offers more challenging hiking routes for experienced hikers. From here you have a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside and can enjoy nature in its full splendour.

A trip to Neuhaus Castle, which is located just outside Paderborn, is also highly recommended. From there you can explore various circular hiking trails that lead through idyllic forest and field landscapes.

If you are travelling with children, you should definitely visit the Niederfeld Zoo. Here there are not only exotic animals to marvel at, but also child-friendly hiking trails through the adjacent forest.

The best seasons for hiking in Paderborn are spring and autumn. At this time the weather is pleasantly mild and nature shows its most beautiful side. In summer, on the other hand, it can get very hot, while in winter snow and ice can make for slippery conditions.

All in all, Paderborn offers a variety of hiking trails and routes for nature lovers of all ages. Whether you want to take a leisurely walk or go on challenging mountain tours - you are guaranteed to find the right route for your personal hiking adventure here.

    Nette Runde abseits der üblichen Wanderautobahnen mit Blicke aufs Wasser. Man geht recht lange am Bokerkanal, was auch angenehm ist. In Sande finden sich verschiedene Möglichkeiten zum Einkehren.

    Schöne Wanderung rund um die Lippe. Bekannterweise ist ein Teil des Lippesees abgesperrt aufgrund der Arbeiten im See, aber es ist trotzdem eine schöne Runde. Man hat viele Möglichkeiten an den See zu geben und später am Salitos Beach einzukehren.

    Schöne Mittelstrecken Wanderung. Landschaftlich Anwendungsreich meist gute Wege. Eine absolut Hervorragende Ausschilderung. Vorbei an der Alpackazucht und dem Modell Flugplatz. Etwas Abzug für den Weg Zwischen Km 9/ 10 dort ist das Gras Hüfthoch und der Weg kaum erkennbar.

    Ein wirklich schöner Wanderweg. Er führt auf vielen schmalen Pfaden rund um Altenbeken. Etwas Ausdauer sollte man mitbringen ;)

    Der Wegbeschreibung und dem Kommentar können wir nur beipflichten. Ein interessanter Weg, der allerdings einige Lücken in der Beschilderung aufweist. Mit einigem Spürsinn wird der Weg dann doch gefunden und ist da, wo er ohne jegliche Markierung ist, besonders interessant. Teilweise hat man den Eindruck, dass seit mehreren Jahren niemand diesen Weg gegangen ist. Alles in allem hat es Spaß gemacht, vor allem auch wegen der Ausblicke in die Umgebung von Altenbeken.

    Im Paderborner Land einer der schönsten und abwechslungsreichsten Wege. Gerade das erste Drittel begeistert mit tollen Ausblicken und vielen Pfaden auf Naturwegen. Von den Wegen her ist für jeden etwas dabei, von Asphalt, über Schotter bis zu Singletrails. Es gibt viele schöne Ruheliegen. Leider konzentrieren sich die Sehenswürdigkeiten auf die erste Hälfte des Weges. Ab der Mariengrotte kommt meiner Meinung nach nur noch das Durbecke Tal als echtes Highlight. Leute die nicht so fit sind sollten daher vielleicht eher die Abkürzungsvariante mit 18 km wählen und haben so auch eine tolle Tagestour. Ich selbst bin den Weg komplett mit Abstecher zur Max-und-Moritzquelle mit insgesamt 31,7 km und knapp über 9 Stunden gelaufen. Komischerweise ist der Weg hier im Portal 3x gelistet.

    Sehr gut beschildert, gut befestigte Wege meist am Waldesrand . Startet man am Bahnhof in Altenbeken , kann man auf der Streckenmitte 'Zum Dunetal' einkehren.
