Enjoy nature and discover the most beautiful corners of Meinerzhagen on foot: our "Wanderbares M" stage tour offers all of this. The approximately 50 km long hike, divided into 4 (half) day stages, leads in the shape of an "M" past the Wasserschloß Badinghagen, the Meinhardus Mattenschanzen (the landmark of Meinerzhagen), the Fürwiggetalsperre and through the Quellental and the Ebbemoore to the heights of the Ebbegebirge and the Nordhelle (663 m above sea level).
The route then continues down the valley past the Knochenmühle mill and the St. Maria Magdalena chapel (Grotewiese) to the idyllic Listertalsperre dam. If you still haven't had enough, you can discover further highlights on one of the numerous circular trails following the "Wanderbare M". At some points along the route, you can listen to exciting legends from the "magical world of legends at the top of the Volme".
The tour runs along marked hiking trails and is also marked with a white "M" on a blue-green striped circle.

Directions
A stream runs directly past the Stoltenberg hiking parking lot, at the edge of which there is an Archimedes spiral that can be used to turn water from the stream. On hot days, it is also worth taking a short detour along the A2 up to the Kneipp station, where there is also a seating area and a shelter. Freshly refreshed and cooled down for the rest of the route, we now set off again from the Quellental hiking parking lot via the Sauerland-Höhenflug towards Valbert, a district of Meinerzhagen, where we pass close to the Nordhelle country house via a ridgeway. After a beautiful panoramic view over Valbert, we continue uphill through the Ebbemoore. Here we cross the quaint Knüppeldamm, a footbridge that leads us right through the flora and fauna of the protected Ebbemoore. After another climb, we pass an old border beech tree and cross the southern slope path to finally reach the highest point of our hike, Nordhelle, at 662.7 m above sea level. From here, you can enjoy an unparalleled panoramic view.
Equipment
Different surfaces await us on this hiking tour. Sturdy hiking boots and clothing suitable for the weather are recommended. Hiking provisions (food & drinks) should be taken along.
