Bielefelder Lämmerweg - Hauptweg

From the Naturfreundehaus Teutoburger Wald in Ubbedissen, the trail leads across the Teutoburg Forest, along the Behrensgrund nature reserve and into the Senne. Further on, it touches the Bielefeld airfield and the forest areas of the Bielefeld public utility company. It leads through the "Rieselfelder Windel" bird sanctuary and on through the Windflöte district to the Ramsbrock landscape conservation farm. It follows the migration route of the flock of sheep from the Bethel sheep farm for around 22.6 kilometers.

Note on sections

The Lämmerweg can be hiked in five sections. The individual tours have different markings and are also set out as circular tours in the Teuto_Navigator.

The first circular tour starts, like the main route, at the Naturfreundehaus in Ubbedissen. The route leads over the shell limestone ridge into the Lämershagener Tal valley. From there, you reach the Ubbedisser Berg and back to the starting point via the sandstone chain, the Eisgrund parking lot and the Markengrund. The trail stretches over 13.5 km and is the most athletic section of the Lämmerweg with its inclines.

The second circular tour starts from the Eisgrund parking lot and covers a total of 7.9 km. The route leads past the heaths and rough grasslands of the "Behrendsgrund" nature reserve to the B68, continuing through open sandy fields to the edge of the Teutoburg Forest. Following the ridge, you return to the Eisgrund parking lot on forest paths.

The third circular tour takes hikers to the "Flugsanddüne" natural monument and Bielefeld airfield. The route then leads through the Windelsbleiche district, forests, meadows and fields back to the starting point. The route is 8.7 km long, but can be extended to 10.7 km by taking a detour.

At 18.5 km, the fourth circular tour is the longest of the Lämmerweg. This circular route leads far into the Senneland landscape away from the main trail. It starts at Windelsbleiche railroad station, crosses the "Rieselfelder Windel" bird sanctuary and leads via the Windflöte district to the very scenic Bekelheide. From here, the route returns to Windelsbleiche.

The fifth circular tour, at 6.5 km in length, is the shortest in contrast to the fourth circular tour. The outward route leads through the Reiherbach floodplain to the Ramsbrock landscape conservation farm. There, the nature trail invites you to take a short excursion. The way back to the Osthuschule Museum is on paved paths.
