Information
Directions
From the tourist information office, we first follow Österstraße, then from the cemetery along Faustweg for approx. 1.8 km, passing the cemetery on the right and then the children's playground on the left. Approximately at "Nonnnenkreuz" we turn left and follow the path for approx. 1.4 km to the L617. From there, turn right for about 100 m, then carefully cross the road and turn left onto the path. Follow this again for approx. 600 m and then turn left down the hill for approx. 1 km. Then turn left into Vopeliusstraße and shortly afterwards right into Weddelstraße. We follow Weddelstraße until we reach the flower house, where we turn left into Hinterstraße and return to the starting point at the market square.
Equipment
Sturdy shoes and warm clothing.
Safety guidelines
Information on cleared winter hiking trails:
We would like to point out that the first priority of the local clearing services is to ensure road safety. Depending on the weather and snow conditions, this means that roads in public areas have priority over winter hiking trails and are cleared first. There may therefore be delays in clearing the winter hiking trails. However, the city will do its best to clear the winter hiking trails for you,
thank you for your understanding and enjoy your winter hiking pleasure!
Author Tip
Take a look inside the church of St. Peter and Paul in Medebach.
The three-aisled hall church is the third largest in the archdiocese of Paderborn. It was built in 1857 and is freely accessible. It is built in late classicist, but also early neo-Romanesque style on the foundation walls of the original church, which fell victim to the flames in the devastating fire of 1844.
