--- title: "Ith-Hils-Weg" url: "https://www.niedersachsen-tourism.com/tour/ith-hils-weg" description: "Welcome to the Ith-Hils-Weg! Along historic towers and cult sites, lake landscapes, and bizarre rock formations as well as caves, the well-signed quality Ith-Hils-Weg is a special experience even for experienced hikers. On the 81 kilometer long circular route, you can experience the diverse and varied landscape with the Ith and Hils ridges as well as other elevations up close. This path is characterized by a particularly beautiful, natural track. Along ridge trails the path leads to spectacular cliffs and natural-historical special features with wide views over the land and fascinating insights into the history of this region. From Coppenbrügge the Ith-Hils-Weg runs along the Ith ridge to the southeast to Holzen, a district of the market town Eschershausen in the Solling-Vogler Region. From here it goes east through the Hils to the town of Grünenplan and then again southeast to Kaierde. Behind Kaierde the Ith-Hils-Weg turns north in a curve to the village Delligsen and then follows northwest the Steinberg and the Reuberg to the Lippoldshöhle cave. Over heights the trekking route on the Ith-Hils-Weg continues northeast through Salzhemmendorf to Lauenstein and then back through the Ith to Coppenbrügge. The entire route can also be well explored in seven individual stages. Each stage offers very special highlights along the way. Be it natural monuments, viewing rocks, historic towers, museums, or UNESCO World Heritage: The Ith-Hils-Weg offers unique holiday experiences in the Eastern Weser Uplands. All stages start at hiking car parks with large information boards. At these starting and end points as well as in the respective villages, there are accommodation and dining options. Numerous open-air and indoor pools and special bathing facilities such as the Lauenstein natural adventure pool, a spacious recreational lake area, and the Ith brine thermal baths as a wellness paradise offer opportunities for year-round relaxation and recreation in the Ith-Hils region alongside hiking enjoyment. Note: Information on the closure of the Ith-Hils-Weg: Due to logging work, the section between Lutherplatz and Kaierde is closed for approximately 4-8 weeks. A detour is signposted on site.
