Hiking in Bad Eilsen: 6 family-friendly tours
This family's experience:

Activities: We did the "Runde zum Idaturm" (tour to Idaturm). There were "Spuren des Bergbaus erkunden" (traces of mining to explore). It was a wide and clean path, perfect for walking. There were also "Geocacher" (geocachers) there

Highlights: The children enjoyed walking in the Harrl. "Der direkte Weg zum Turm ist breit, sauber und etwas langweilig." (The direct way to the tower is wide, clean and a bit boring) ✨
