From the Dünscheder Hölzchen hiking parking lot - located on the K 7 - you can enjoy nature and wonderful views on various hikes.
Dünschede lies on the former Heidenstraße. This location was conducive to early missionary work by Franconian monks. The existence of a church can be traced back to the 11th century. The place name Dünschede is derived from the chaplain Dietrich von Dusenschuren (around 1270). The wealthy Knights of Dusenschuren exercised great influence in the area in the period 1227-1457.

Circular hiking tip around the Bigger Kopf: Hike along the A1 around the Bigger Kopf, for example. The 5 km long and easy circular trail leads through forests that were severely damaged by the storm Kyrill and therefore offer some wonderful views of the Attendorn area. From the Guilberg you can see the "Ahauser Klippen und Stausee" nature reserve and Heggen. The reservoir with its shallow water zone is an important resting place for water birds and its rocky forest biotopes are also of outstanding importance. Another wonderful view over the Repetal valley opens up at the "Dünscheder Heiligenhäuschen". If the one-and-a-half-hour hike is too short for you, you can extend the loop to 10 km via the A5 hiking trail, which leads to Schnellenberg Castle.
Circular hiking tip around Heggen and the Ahauser reservoir: The 17 km long and beautiful circular hike around the village of Heggen and the Ahauser reservoir runs mostly along field and forest paths, with short sections on asphalt. There are some beautiful views and distant vistas.
Circular hiking tip through the lower Repetal valley: This scenic circular hike, which is rich in views, is 13.5 km long and leads partly on narrow paths through the lower Repetal valley, past the Peperburg ruins and Niederhelden.
