Various hikes, such as the circular hiking trail A 15 and the main hiking trail x 25, lead past this idyllically situated rest area with the small chapel of St. Lucia and invite hikers to linger.
Melbecketal circular hiking tip: A fantastic panoramic view from the Raizebeil rest area near Obermelbecke awaits you on the 9.4 km long trail A15. But the varied route through meadows, fields and the protected limestone beech forests with its open rocky cliffs as well as the picturesque village of Melbecke also make the trail an experience.
The Melbecke and Rübenkamp nature reserve, which is an outstanding biotope complex of species-rich rock, forest and nutrient-poor grassland habitats on limestone, is also located along the way.
