Spectacular views across the vast Hoppeck Valley, all the way to the Obermarsberg Stiftskirche, the Madfeld and Rösenbeck Heights, the Diemelsee, and the Waldeck Upland await us on the “Beringhausen Aussichten” themed hiking trail. Viewing platforms, panoramic signs, forest benches, and panoramic windows invite you to linger and enjoy the scenery. The hike takes us past the Jewish cemetery in Padberg/Beringhausen, where you can catch a glimpse of it. At the forest shelter by the footbath, not only can your warm feet find cool relief, but there’s also a hidden refreshment waiting to quench your thirst.

Information

Directions

The themed hiking trail begins at the village square by St. Markus Church in Beringhausen. After a welcome from the local character “Berta von Beringhausen,” the loop trail heads toward Padberg and then branches off into the Leiental valley. At various points along the way, hikers can admire the Hoppeck Valley and the surrounding mountains from different perspectives. The trail then leads back to the village square via Josefsstadt.

Safety guidelines

Hiking trails usually run away from towns and settlements, and every hiker has wondered at some point what would happen if an emergency were to occur right now. How can I be found here? Where am I, anyway? Can emergency services reach me?

The “Hilfe im Wald” app currently displays more than 59,000 rescue points across nearly all of Germany’s federal states on a map and shows users the distance to nearby rescue points. The database is constantly being expanded. The fire department, police, and paramedics are familiar with the individual rescue points and the routes to them; in some cases, they also use the “Hilfe im Wald” app to locate people in need of rescue. So if you provide the ID of the nearest rescue point when making an emergency call, help can arrive quickly.
