Tips
The Sorpetal takes its name from the Sorpe, a mere ten kilometers long tributary of the Lenne. Not to be confused with the Sorpe, which gives the Sorpesee its name (even if it is not far away). This Sorpe here is not a big, quiet river, but rather a brisk mountain stream. Accordingly, the Sorpetal is not a long, slowly rising valley, but a very steep affair. Through the Sorpetal up to Altastenberg and finally to the Kahler Asten. That's good and like 400 meters. The other way round you can enjoy a really great, fast descent.
