The route combines cultural sights with varied natural landscapes and offers numerous impressive panoramic views. Highlights include Brake Castle in Lemgo, the Begaauen nature reserve, Wendlinghausen Castle, which was built in the early 17th century in the Weser Renaissance style, and the historic town center of Blomberg.
