Oberberge: Circular Trail, Jüppkenpark and St. Luzia Chapel

Circular trail around Berge (B7): From Oberberge through heavily forested terrain along the Homert Nature Park to the Esmecke Reservoir and back

The circular trail around Berge (B7) starts in Oberberge and leads through heavily forested terrain along the Homert Nature Park to the Esmecke Reservoir. The route then continues back to Oberberge. The starting and end points are therefore in the same village. For planning the day, the return to Oberberge is already part of the circular route. When scheduling the hike, plan a complete loop rather than a route with an open endpoint.

The B7 is 10.6 kilometres long and takes 3:03 hours. The ascent and descent are each 253 metres. The duration can be taken as the time required for the route; personal breaks and your own walking pace are additional factors in the day's schedule. If you are travelling at different paces, you should allow additional leeway for the slower walking speed. Longer interruptions also delay the return, even though the specified route length does not change. An additional time buffer remains advisable for longer breaks. The distance, ascent and descent should therefore all be included in your preparations when scheduling the start, breaks and return.

Route planning and parking options at Jüppkenpark

For the circular trail around Berge (B7), the parking options at Jüppkenpark can be included in your travel planning. If you are travelling by car, this information is part of preparing for the hike. The parking options therefore represent a separate practical point alongside the route. For the B7, Jüppkenpark is the specific reference point. If you are fitting the B7 into a set daily schedule, you can take the car park, the start of the walking time and the return to Oberberge into account in the same plan.

Jüppkenpark in Oberberge on the SauerlandRadring

Jüppkenpark in Oberberge is located directly on the SauerlandRadring and also has Kneipp facilities. In addition to the B7, this introduces another connection to a route. The Kneipp facilities are a separate part of the park. If you would like to include cycling or Kneipp treatments in your daily schedule, you can consider these two activities at Jüppkenpark separately from the B7's route figures.

St. Luzia Chapel on Wennestraße

St. Luzia Chapel is located in Oberberge on Wennestraße. It was consecrated in 1647 by Auxiliary Bishop Bernard Fricke. It was restored in 1995/96. The chapel belongs to the parish of St. Luzia. The name St. Luzia is therefore found both in the name of the chapel and in that of the parish.

The Luzia Chapel in Oberberge is one of the sights of Berge. It therefore remains an independent cultural focus in Oberberge for those interested in culture. When planning the day, the chapel can be considered alongside the B7's scenic highlights.
