Explore Allagen on foot

Allagen invites you to explore the surrounding area on foot: A 6.1-kilometre circular trail leads through the Möhne Valley, across fields and into the neighbouring villages of Sichtigvor and Westendorf. The Skywalk Möhnetal also offers views across the valley towards the Arnsberg Forest. This gives you a clear range of options for planning your trip: an easy, family-friendly circuit, an accessible viewpoint and longer hikes in the wider Warstein destination. You can decide whether to focus your days on a compact route, views from a platform or several hiking destinations.

The circular trail through the Möhne Valley

The Allagen circular trail is 6.1 kilometres long, easy, family-friendly, culturally interesting, free of charge and accessible at any time. It leads through the Möhne Valley, across fields and into the neighbouring villages of Sichtigvor and Westendorf. The combination of countryside and visits to local villages defines the character of this circular route. Its easy, family-friendly rating provides a practical guide when planning a walk together. The details “free of charge” and “accessible at any time” also make it easy to consider the route as a flexible activity. You can choose to make the 6.1-kilometre trail your main excursion or treat it as one part of your time in Allagen.

Panoramic views at the Skywalk Möhnetal

The nearby Skywalk Möhnetal is associated with Allagen and Niederbergheim. From the platform, you can look across the Möhne Valley towards the Arnsberg Forest. A 15- to 20-minute walk leads from designated car parks to the platform. The platform is accessible; the walking time refers to the route from the designated car parks. This sets the viewpoint apart from the circular trail: Here, the panorama is the main attraction, while the hike takes you through the valley, across fields and into neighbouring villages. Check local notices for any access restrictions before you arrive.

Hiking trails in the wider Warstein destination

The wider Warstein destination also offers other hiking options. The 35-metre-high Lörmecke Tower provides panoramic views from the Hochsauerland across the Haarstrang and Westphalian Bay to the Teutoburg Forest. Hiking Trail 1 is 16.5 kilometres long and connects the Bilsteintal, Paradies, Hubertusquelle, Lörmecke Tower, Lörmecke Tower car park and Sedansteich. Hiking Trail 2 is shorter at 6.3 kilometres and runs from the Lörmecke Tower car park via Kapellenplatz and back to the Lörmecke Tower. The trail lengths can be compared directly: at 6.3 kilometres, Trail 2 is close in length to the 6.1-kilometre circuit in Allagen, while Trail 1, at 16.5 kilometres, is considerably longer. The Lörmecke Tower is also part of both Warstein trails: Trail 1 leads to it, while Trail 2 starts and ends there.

Getting here and finding accommodation

You can reach the Allagen circular trail by bus routes S60 or 651; parking is available at Haus Dassel on Viktor-Röper-Straße. Check the bus service before travelling, as routes and transport services may change. When looking for accommodation, you can start by deciding which tours you would like to take: Should the Allagen circuit be your main focus, or would you also like to include the trails mentioned in the wider Warstein destination? The Skywalk adds a separate viewpoint-focused option. These questions can help you choose a destination based on what you would like to experience during your stay.
