Stemweder Berg hiking trails - Schlichter Brink loop.

The forest consists mainly of beech trees. Here are two large stands of the extremely rare masterwort beech forest. In the Stemweder Berg, various historical boundary stones can be discovered. Due to the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, Minden and the area south of Stemweder Berg came under Brandenburg (Prussia). High-stemmed traditional orchards on the edge of Stemweder Berg provide habitat for dormice, little owls, and various bat species. Water quickly seeps away in the glacial dry valleys of Stemweder Berg. Shallow ponds are only found in small areas. In addition to local wildlife such as deer, hare, pheasant, and fox, one can find the white-backed and black woodpecker. Also present are the primrose, cuckoo-pint, lily of the valley, native orchids, and woodruff. This extensive forest area is accessible via well-developed and marked hiking trails of various lengths, each starting at a hiking parking lot. The overview panels and the hiking map provide information and help with orientation. All routes are also suitable for walking or jogging.
