Loop
The short circular trail (PY2) starts at the Erdfälle hiking parking area and guides nature lovers around the serene wooded valleys of the Iberg. Shaded paths carry travelers toward the Obere Erdfall, a massive water-filled sinkhole created when underground salt and gypsum deposits dissolved over centuries. A brief side path leads to the Untere Erdfall and the scenic lookout at the Berg-Kurpark overlooking Bad Pyrmont. Comfortable walking shoes make navigating the unpaved forest trails and gentle slopes along the woodland border effortless.
