Until well into the 20th century, Büren was also known as the "town of mills". In addition to the Niedermühle, today the address in Büren for culture and cabaret, the more than 750-year-old Mittelmühle is the oldest secular building in Büren. It was built by the noble lords of Büren as one of three grain mills on the Alme. Since 1928 it was used as a mineral mill. Not only was grain ground in it, but also calcite and other types of rock were processed into stone flour. This was among other things

Liability:
The event is insured against liability claims via the DVV. However, the insurance cover only extends to the start and finish area and to the hiking route specified by the organizer.
Individual accident insurance:
The DVV has accident insurance for every participant with a valid starting ticket. The start card must therefore contain the full address of the participant at the start.
Organization:
All hikes start and end in a restaurant. During the five day hikes, each participant must take care of their own food (backpack food). On every hike, there is a drink break about halfway along the route, where you will be served drinks free of charge. At the end of the hike you have the opportunity to stop off at the starting point. A cultural program is offered on three evenings/afternoon.
Liability:
Each participant starts at their own risk and cannot assert any liability claims against the organizer.
We are looking forward to your visit!
