  • 1  Altenburg. Altenburg in the encyclopedia WikipediaAltenburg in the media directory Wikimedia CommonsAltenburg (Q436904) in the Wikidata database.A wooden observation tower stands on the 433 m high elevation. From up here you have a nice view over towards Borken in the Schwalm-Eder-Niederung but also towards Bad Zwesten towards Kellerwald. A 360 degree panoramic view is not possible, however, as the structure is partly already grown in. But it's still worth climbing! There are also remains of a Celtic ring wall on the mountain. On foot from the center of Bad Zwesten: At an altitude of around 210 m, you simply hike around 4 km with around 220 meters of altitude to the tower. To do this, first head towards the campsite on the Schwalm. To the east of the square, the ascent takes place via paths into the forest (see also Openstreetmap). By car or bicycle access via Römersberg: There is one north of Römersberg 2 Hiking parking lot in the forest. This can be reached after driving through the village via somewhat coarser, gravel roads. From the parking lot at around 340 m above sea level, you only walk around 800 m to the tower. The partly quite steep route on coarse ground has an altitude of around 90 meters (sturdy shoes are useful). The path is not suitable for prams unless you have an all-terrain "trekking pram" with large wheels that you like to push over hill and dale. Touring bikes are therefore better connected to the parking lot as well. Even going downhill is not without risk on the steep, very rough path (danger of slipping despite careful driving due to the ground). There is also one at the parking lot Information board about the archaeological hiking trail Altenburg, which leads over the mountain in 2 hours from here and introduces the Keltenwall and the Altenburg at 12 stations.

To go biking

The network of Bad Zwestener bike paths has a length of approx. 70 km.
