    Short route in the Ith from Holzen. First a loop along the Upper Cliffs Trail at the Lüerdissen Cliffs. Then in a larger arc past the airfield, back through the Ithwiesen to Holzen.

    Access by car. Start at a parking lot next to Ith Street right at the entrance. From there it goes northwest, towards the ridge trail and the Lüerdissen Cliffs.

    These are divided into zones and the formations of the rock heads are listed and numbered – 14 in total. The photo (red background) shows this overview along with the applicable code of conduct. It is advisable to plan the route accordingly or select your highlights. Climbing is also possible here.

    This circular walk went over the Upper Cliffs Trail and back on the ridge trail to the parking lot. Then followed the second, larger loop.

    First on the Segelflugstraße – the name speaks for itself, to below the Ithwiesen airfield. Here a sharp left turn was made, practically parallel back through the Ithwiesen. This path and landscape stands in complete contrast to the previously experienced Lüerdissen Cliffs.
    Flatter, calmer, almost without other hikers; just walking and watching.

    On the field path “Ackerbreite”, Capellenhagen is in sight, already within reach, we turn left.

    Gently uphill to Ith Street and then back to the starting point. These last meters to Holzen run directly on this access road – with corresponding car traffic.

    Author’s recommendation

    Lüerdissen Cliffs: Definitely plan/take enough time for this. Possibly inform yourself about the rock formations beforehand.
